I own a TiVo Dual Tuner machine on analog basic cable service. The machine is less than 1 year old and has a lifetime service subscription. Recently, the machine intermittantly has the following problem: pulsations, color distortion, and image distortion. Sometimes the problem lasts for hours. Sometimes it disappears if I unplug the electricity to the TiVo machine and let it reboot. What is the cause of this problem? The machine is under a 5-year extended warranty with a retail store. If the store has to "junk" the machine, will TiVo allow me to port the lifetime subscription onto a brand new identical model replacement machine? Thanks.

Is the TiVo connected directly to the TV (and if so, using which kind of video connection)? Or are you chaining the signal through some other device such as a VCR? The latter could cause the symptom you describe.
