i find it starts to slow up/become buggy if its not been rebooted in a while.
Can't say that's been my experience. Mine are only re-booted when there's a software update or when the toaster causes the RCD to trip and I don't really notice any change in performance on either box.

I've always put it down to either the EPG getting updated or some of the other maintenance that TiVo does or sluggish response from TiVo's internet connection when it is getting other information it needs.
IR interference can cause all sorts of strange behavior. My kids had been playing with a remote control helicopter and the remote control had been left on, pointing at the TiVo box.

It drove me mad for a week trying to work out what was wrong. I tried both my Harmony remotes to no avail and even looked out the original TiVo remote until I noticed that normal service was resumed when I stood in the middle of the room (blocking the helicopter remote). So I covered covered the IR receiver on the box and used the controls on the box to check that the box was indeed working fine. It was only a few minutes after that that it all clicked.
