    S3 HD Reboots when "TiVo Button" is pushed

    My Series 3 HD Reboots when "TiVo Button" (button at top of peanut remote with "Mr. TiVo on it) is pushed.

    If I get to the "Now Playing" screen without pushing the "TiVo Button" I can play/pause/rew/FF/delete, etc., etc.. Recording seems to continue fine. I just can't push the "TiVo Button" without getting the reboot routine: (Welcome..., Just a few more..., Animation).

    Is this a HD replacement issue or something else?

    I also occasionally see a bit of pixilation during a show but I think this is always on OTA channels so maybe it is a broadcasting artifact. Some channels are below the 90%'s of signal level.

    Thanks,
    Larry

    That sounds like a pretty clear hard drive problem. Sounds like when it tries to load the screen or the background from the drive, it just crashes due to a bad sector on the drive.

      Is that a new HD situation or can the HD be "cleaned-up" or similar in a relatively easy way?

        Forget the previous question. Now it has started rebooting at random times as well.

          Then, even more likely to be a bad drive.
