    Bolt Video Output Occasionally Fails

    My 6-tuner Bolt’s video output fails about once/month. The recording function is unaffected, and the unit remains active as a remote device. I have to disconnect and reconnect the power supply to reboot, which interrupts any active recording and is a nuisance.

    Any fix that doesn’t require sending the unit in for repair?

    Thanks for any input.

    Are you sure it isn't just going to sleep?

    We have info on that here:

      When playback doesn’t work, the TiVo button does nothing. I presume it’s not asleep.

        Additional info: normally, when I turn the TV on, I press the TiVo button while the TV is. booting. Tonight, I turned on the TV and didn’t hit the TiVo button, and I got a live picture. I then hit the TiVo button, and the TiVo output disappeared with no further response from the TiVo button.

          That doesn't sound good. But that problem also doesn't sound familiar to me. I'd say there's a chance you have a failing hard drive, and there's a chance it's something else.

          Replacement hard drive kits are here:

          and if you want to send it in to us for repair, go here:
