What I mean is that when I just change the channels one at a time they change ok but if I select the numbers from the remote I get a blank screen; again most of my problems happen with the digital higher HD channels. I don't use the Grid Guide.
Another strange thing just happened. The TV was working fine, recording two programs. When I went to Now Playing and clicked on one of the programs recording, the TV froze , just like a computer. Absolutely nothing I pressed on made any difference, except Power. I powered it off, waited, turned it back on but it was still frozen.. Repeated this a few times, looked in my Manual for Screen Freezes or anything similar, but couldn't find anything to explain the cause or a remedy. I pulled the plug and am Powering Up now but getting a screen saying that it is 'Preparing the service update. This may take up to an hour, possible longer.' Do you think an Update, would just interrupt broadcasting like that? I've never heard of that. So you can change up/down through the channels one at a time OK. Can you enter a channel number directly from the number pad on the remote as well? How are you using the guide to try to change to a channel? If you're using the TiVo Guide you should be able to just highlight a channel and hit 'Select'. If you're using the Grid Guide you should just highlight a program and then hit 'Select'. What are you seeing? BTW, that's Channel/Page - the button changes the channel or pages through menus, depending on where you are in the system. > Last night I set up two channels to Record and after a short while > one of them stopped. Later I tried again and they BOTH recorded. Hmm. That could be a problem with the signal level. Not sure if a pairing or card problem could cause that. -MZ -- megazone-at-megazone.org http://www.MegaZone.org/ Gweep, Geek, Human, me. http://www.TiVoLovers.com/ http://www.Eyrie-Productions.com/ -><- Hail Eris "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men" 508-852-2171
