I have four TiVos on my network. Up until last week I had NO problems with transferring programs between the four machines. However, for the past week when I try to transfer to one of my Humax DRT800 Tivo from any of the others on the network, about five minutes into the transfer the DRT800 will reboot itself. The transfer will then start over and the machine will reboot again at some point in the transfer yet again. I have two Humax DRT800 Tivos (only one of them am I having this problem) & two 80 hour Tivo Series 2. The times I noticed this I was watching another show that I had recorded on the Humax and it just locks up and you can't do anything and then it reboots. I haven't noticed the Humax rebooting at any other time while I'm watching Live TV or while I'm watching something that I have recorded unless I am transferring from another TiVo so I am assuming that it's got something to do with the transfer. All of my adapters are the same on all TiVos and it is compatible (I checked that out before posting).. the router as well. I've tried running the guided setup & everything that Humax serv rep walked me through. I am "out of warranty" so therefore, I have to pay for another should I choose to send this one back so am trying to remedy the problem if it's possible! Any help would be appreciated :)

The first thing I'd do is take the adapter from the machine that's having problems and switch it with another one and see if the problem follows the adapter or not.

funny, I'm having the same issue, expect that I have a Humax and a Tivo-branded Series 2, The Humax restarts whenever I try to transfer a program. I'll try the the adapter swap, but it was working for a while and just stopped working recently. Any other ideas?

I tried transferring from one humax to the other humax.. worked fine and it didn't reboot.. then I tried to transfer again from one of my Tivo Series 2 to the Humax and it did reboot again. So it has something to do between those two machines.

I have changed out the adapters and am trying to see if it solves anything.. will let you know how it goes.
