Are there any lights on the front of the TiVo? If not, check:
1) the mains cable is plugged into the power supply block.
2) the mains plug is in the socket, and it's switched on
3) the lead from the from the power supply block is plugged into the back of the TiVo - and that it goes into the right socket.
4) the switch on the back of the TiVo is on

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3

I'm at home for the weekend and was trying to show my parents something on YouTube. Tried to access the search but was told the app was temporarily unavailable. So rebooted the box and still couldn't get access. It curiously isn't appearing in the main app menu either. Anyone else having trouble with it?

Do you mean loading YouTube from TiVo Search, or the search within the YouTube app? Do you get an error code?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3

Loading from the TiVo search menu. Get error code A01. Can't get onto the app any other way as it's not in the app menu

There should be an update later this year.

How slow is your box? And is it consistent or does it vary?

Sometimes it will just freeze up, other times it will work reasonable. On demand or anything interactive it just dog slow.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3

It may be caused by IR interference in the room. To test this, next time it happens put your left hand over the TiVo's IR receiver, which is just to the left of the green power LED on the front of the TiVo. Then operate the menus using the buttons on the front of the TiVo. Does the speed return to normal?
