Any individual STB could have a hardware fault - it's the nature of any manufacturing process, but it doesn't mean that every TiVo box does

It's not constant rebooting, it's stuck in the software download. My money is on bad signals.

I've had a fault where it was doing that, was a box swap, if it goes to stage 3 of 3 updating then the box has downloaded the firmware but can't install it

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 
Yeah, but this isn't getting to stage 3.

As jb66 has said, no luck. Back to flashing green light.

Call the TiVo faults on 151, you need the tech back if it's now failing at that point.

Just make sure you read the t&c's
  • 60p per play
  • No money guaranteed even if you win - just entered into a once fortnightly prize draw for £10 / £50 / champagne - no mention of how many winners either.
  • Can't win more than once in a THREE MONTH period !

Just got off the phone to them, we are having a new box installed tomorrow between 16.00hrs and 19.00hrs.

Fingers crossed that the new one is okay.

Hello All

Live in Leatherhead Surrey and 15.2 soft loaded on Tivo this morning much snappier in all screens.
Never seen the clock as I scouted around.
Seems to have come much earlier than I have been reading on the forum.
Much better product now, I have tolerated its inadequacies from the start in the hope
of better performance been worth waiting.

Make sure they check the signal level using their meter too. I'm still not convinced it's the box.

Interesting... didn't think the pilot trial finished until 12th?
