TiVo Help........ :(

Doz007 · 22-11-2011, 18:21

I've just returned home to find my TiVo lit up like a Christmas tree and refuses to turn on!

The iPhone flash seems to have washed out the colours, so from left to right they're as follows: Orange, Orange, Green, Red, Red, Red, Pink

Is this indicating that the update is in progress? I haven't powered off at the plug in case it is the much talked about update and I interrupt it.

Any help would be very welcome.

What's displayed on the TV screen?

What area are you in also?

Nothing on the screen at all, just HDMI 2 as though nothing is turned on.

Wow, it's a small world.

I haven't yet in case this is the update in progress. Have you received the update yet?

I didn't get chance to watch TiVo this morning before work, but it definitely didn't have all the lights on this morning.

It's been like this now since I came home around 5.

Ahhh, ok no worries mate. You should consider the upgrade to TiVo, this thing is light years ahead of the V+HD box it replaced.

I'd suggest posting on our Community Forum so they can run some remote tests.

Thanks for your help DF, your knowledge is invaluable at times like these.

I've decided to go for the turn off at plug option and the good news is it's alive & the software version is 15.2.RC8.

The bad news is that it's rebooted it's self twice since my last post.

Would you still suggest posting on the community forum or would the 150 chaps be able to run the same tests?

Currently awaiting the 10th reboot of the night

Great to see the Keighley chaps on the Forum.

Ive lost count of the amount of reboots I've had now (over 30) but it wont even stay turned off without rebooting and an engineer can't get to me until Saturday.......
