Last night my original series 3 spontaneously rebooted. The lights in the front panel lit, then went out as usual. But the DVR never appeared to get past the "Welcome" screen even after several minutes.
It appears that the most common Tivo problems are the disk drives and the power supplies, in approximately that order.
What I could not quite glean from reading the forum was whether a DVR "stuck" at the Welcome screen is indicative of a HD failure.
Wondering if someone could provide an opinion on that. If it's a HD problem then I'll just go buy another (bigger) drive and ship it off to WK to get a new image blown onto it. But if the problem is on the motherboard then I will probably not fix that.
Thanks!
