Hi, After much thought on what to do about this problem, [we are not technically able to repair it ourselves]. we decided to get the Series 3 HD box instead. The questions I have about doing this though, are, when I went to Amazon to check prices, I read some of the reviews of the new S3 and many were very discouraging about setting it up, the service, the way it played after setup, the most discouraging part. Many have returned them. Since we are technically challenged, I would not like to be going through all that stress and discouragement.
I also read that there is a newer tivo after the S3 called HD that is less than half the price, and also that tivo may be going to drop the S3 sometime soon in the future. So would I be better off to just go for the HD? I don't know what features are not on it for less the price, but if S3 is going out I would be better to buy something else now rather than later? Sanr >>It means the drive has to be replaced, if that is indeed the problem. You can call TiVo support and see about having it repaired. Or if you're comfortable doing it yourself there are ready-to-run drives from WeaKnees.com or DVRupgrade.com, or you can supply your own and image it with a PC, I suggest Instant Cake from DVRUpgrade.
