Cable Forum - View Single Post - TiVo Blank screen when coming off standby mode

Hi guys, I've noticed a little problem with my Tivo in the last couple of days.

When coming out of standby mode, the Tivo plays the sound and displays a black screen (no menus or video). The only solution appears to be switch off and on again.

The system has been working fine for years, and I have changed nothing (apart from the router attached to the Superhub), so I am a little confused, unless the box is on the way out. I did think it might be a cabling problem (I have a two year old who loves to go behind the telly if he can, and loves playing with cables), but I am using HDMI. Unless the cable has gone bad, I would have thought any HDMI problems would stop the sound as well.

Before I call customer services, does anyone have any ideas?
