I've just had the engineer round to see if he could fix the constant hard drive noise on my TiVo. Apparently they are all like this but was willing to swap it over with another box, a Cisco one. As I have the newer Samsung one, I declined as I assume it was better - although there is probably no difference between them and the engineer confirmed this.

Nether-the-less, during this process, he changed the setting of the TiVo box from QAM256 to QAM64 in some kind of technical settings mode. Does anyone here know what that does and whether I should change it back to QAM256?

It would be also great if anyone else has the constant ticking of the hard drive and any solutions you have to reduce the noise (I'm sure when I last checked, my sisters TiVo was silent).

Thanks
