  • Series 3 Rebooting Constantly During Service Update

    Hi,

    I recently dug out my Series 3 Tivo now that I've cut the cord and wanted to use it for OTA channels. I haven't used it in a while but after starting guided setup, it needed to reboot to install a service update. However, it just seems to reboot, say it's powering up, then almost there, and then it goes to "Preparing the service update, This may take up to an hour, possibly longer." It's now been that way for well over 24 hours. Every few minutes it reboots, says it's starting up, and then shows the preparing the service update screen for a few minutes, reboots and repeats. All day and all night long. Please help, I don't know what else to do. Thanks!

    That's almost definitely a failed hard drive.
