Hello again.

Right, well more on the upgrade I am trying to do for my brother. I eventually got the upgrade done. Basically did a complete backup and restore from his 40Gb drive, and installed network drivers separately.

Everything was ok, until he accidently pulled the power to the Tivo. Now it won't get any live TV signal. This comes from a Freeview set top box.

Aux displays the picture fine, so it can't be a problem with the Freeview signal. :confused:

We have re-booted the Tivo, but without success.

Any other ideas on what else we can try ?

Try pulling the power on the TiVo and STB then powering the STB back on first.

The TiVo hardware checks for the presence of a signal on the AUX SCART and sometimes doesn't 'see' it if it's not there at power-up.

Spot on BL !

Now my brother is saying

"Yea, I knew it would be something really simple like that......" :)

Thanks
