I've got a series 2 540 model tivo that keeps powering down. I cannot yet descern a pattern to why this is happening yet and it is causing me to miss program recordings and having to go through the power up sequence when I come back in to find it powered off.

Has anyone else seen this issue? I'm not sure its related or not to the constant reboot issue that others on the forum are talking about as I haven't yet seen it power down when I was watching it...and it doesn't appear to be booting back up on its own.

I also tried clearing the To Do List, Program Info, and Ratings settings last night thinking that would do it but it happened again today.

It has an upgraded 160gb drive in it that is about a year and half old.

Thanks for any insight or advice.

Is it getting enough ventilation? I've never seen one of mine shut down, but since it monitors temperature, it might be shutting down because it thinks it's too hot.
