Does anyone else have this problem? I have a nasty feeling that my Tivo might be on its way out.

I had the same problem. At first I could sometimes fast forward through the stuck bit or just leave it and it would eventually carry on.
After a while it started to get worse, whole bits of recordings would be missing, suddenly starting 55 minutes into a 60 minutes programme yet saying it was an hour long. I also noticed the tell tale clicking of the hard drive on occasions. I looked online for procedures to error check or fix a TiVo disk in a Virgin box (there are key press sequences you can do on other models to get perform one). Unfortunately there aren't any.
I tried to watch as much as I could but it got to the point where the box itself was locking up along with the clicking hard disk and needing to be hard powered to get it working again.
In the end I had to ring faults and get the box replaced.
