Brief Stuttering?

[flotzie]

Hi, My Tivo has started what I can only describe as stuttering. It's occuring about every 10mins or so and only lasts for a fraction of a second. The sound goes and the picture pixelates. Any thoughts?

Your hard drive has finally reached the end of the line...............

If you have telnet access you may want to run mfscheck.

If I replace the HDD drive will I lose my stored progs, lifetime sub, season passes, etc, etc?

Not if you turn off your Tivo now, order a new hard drive and then copy all the recordings, SPs, Wishlists, thumbs data and programs from the old drive to the new new one using the instructions at www.steveconrad.co.uk/tivo and/or www.mfslive.org If you wait till your hard drives expire totally you will lose all your old data including the thumbs which lead to the Suggestions.

Or if doing it yourself sounds too daunting you can always use the services of that friendly blindlemon fellow at www.tivoheaven.co.uk and send him your old drives to save the data from. He knows what he is doing but it will cost you quite a lot extra - but then at least it won't all go horribly wrong........

The sub is connected to the motherbaord, not the hard disk, so your lifetime will stay.
