TiVo box rebooting...

I have 2 TiVo boxes and recently one of them is starting to reboot; sometimes daily, sometimes every few days. Do you think I need to report it to get a VM tech guy to have a look? (I think it is the box that is the problem as the signal readings are fine and my 2nd box is also ok)

John,

Report it to VM as a fault. I had the same issue on my TiVo last October and it's a sign of the hard drive beginning to fail. They'll check your signal levels and also do a diagnostic of the box and replace if necessary.
