This is a heads up for anyone else experiencing TiVo rebooting a lot.

Mine started rebooting almost every night over the last couple of days, around the same time every night. This doesn't pont to hard drive or power supply faliures but to something else that's regular, so I got checking.

Yup - new software download on the Sky+ box activating Sky Anytime - and this includes the auto-powerdown option (defaulted to ON). Thankfully there's an option in the Sky+ menu to turn this off.

I know this has been discussed in various forms previously, but putting 2+2 together has explained something that could appear to be a lot more serious.

... I hope!

Rebooting because it sees no signal on input ?

Tivo does that after 30 mins IIRC

That explains why the SKY+ box was off the other morning.

Now disabled. Thanks. :)
