It isn't the drive. A failing drive would not produce these symptoms. First thing - double check all the connections. They can loosen on their own if there is any tension in the cables. It sounds like you have a splitter to feed the TiVo and TV from the same jack, and the TV is OK. Try swapping the cables and see if the TiVo is better. If no, try removing the splitter from the picture and connect the TiVo directly to the wall. It could be a cable that's going bad, or even the splitter. If not of that helps, try taking the TiVo to the other room where the other TV is working OK and see if it is any better in there. -MZ -- <URL:mailto:megazoneatmegazone.org> Gweep, Discordian, Author, Engineer, me.
