My new TiVo HD just rebooted while I was in Search By Title.
I'd selected HD, Movies, Anime, typed the letter A and got "Please Wait...".
I waited a long time. Eventually it rebooted. "Welcome. Powering up."
I wanted to see if this was repeatable, so I immediately re-did the steps above.
After waiting a long time I got "No matches" (or something like that, I don't
remember the exact words). Not surprising, there probably are none in my
lineup. I hit "left" to leave that and get this screen:
"Service Message
Please activate service
You service is not currently active. Please call ...
Have your service number handy...
"
As I was typing this in, it popped itself from that screen to "Find Programs".
It seemed to work OK and System Information said "Account in good standing",
so I think it's OK. Probably a bug that caused the wrong screen to display as
opposed to really thinking I had no service.
I'm rebooting now to "clear things out" and expect it to be OK
(with respect to needing to activate my service).
But I'd consider this a repeatable problem when searching in empty categories.
