So I checked both boxes and found that the lounge Tivo lead could be pushed in a bit further. The bedroom Tivo was fine.

On attempting a third try after that, it connected and now it seems to work perfectly! My happy bunny status has been restored!

I am loving these boxes - such a huge improvement on the older Tivos.
UPDATE: The problem returned, so I rang VM and was put through to their Swansea office. They identified the cause of the problem - my router was indeed set to 2.4 - they re-set it for me at 5G and I am reassured everything should work fine when the network settles later this afternoon.

My grateful thanks to spiderplant, who identified this problem, and those I've spoken to at VM today. What a helpful team - we are lucky to have them working for us!
