I have DirecTV/Tivo...

I love it and have had no problems with anything until now.

During the Christmas holidays I have had a sporadic problem with watching LIVE TV and then deciding to record while watching the show.

When I decide to record and press the record button... The Tivo acts like its going through the process to record, but the red light doesn't come on - thus my request is thwarted.

I tried again, but with the show menu up - still no recording. I reset the box still sporadic problems.

The pre-recorded shows are recording without problems, but I am currently having problems with "LIVE" commands to record.

I was thinking that it was probably the memory (I have 70 hours). I have 30 hours of recorded shows and a slew in the to do category, but this cannot be the problem - can it?

I have never had a prblm b4 - HELP!!!!!!

Try re-booting the unit. Just unplug it for a minute and then plug it back in.

It will take a few minutes to re-set itself up.

Flukely things like this are often fixed by a simple re-set.
