I have TiVo Model # TCD540080, series 2.
The problem that I currently having is, the channel changing is incompleted. I am currently subscribing to DirecTV. The TiVo box seems to skip the first digit.
For example, if the program was set to have the channel changes to channel 244, it changed to 44. It seems to skip the first digit for a reason. It did the same to the premium channel, such as Cinemax (524), it changed to 24.
However, it did not occur every time. 90% of the time, the box recorded correctly, based on what I previously programmed. The 10% were turning out to be a waste because I did not get anything except black screen.
All of the programs were recorded unattended. I later knew the results because I checked the label banner. I knew it right away that it skipped the first digit.
I did some on-line testing and it did not have any problems. The channels changed and 100% perfect during the test. TiVo changed the channel, left and right. The test has never failed.
My friend told me that there is a menu to have the channel changing to "slow down." I have not seen that menu and I am unsure whether it exists. I checked the IR cable and it seems to be in a good condition.
Any advices you have will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
