Aside from the fact that my Series 2 Standalone Tivo is RIDICULOUSLY SLOW now, I have a serious issue that Tivo customer service cannot seem to correct.

Around April 7th, I noticed that there was no program info for the FX network. I had this problem about 6 months ago, but it was corrected with a restart. For me, FX is 248. When I choose channel 248 on the guide, it just says SAT (for the channel name), and there is no program info. Mind you, there is no signal problem with DirecTV - I DO RECEIVE the channel - I do get a signal when I manually input 2-4-8, ENTER; the Tivo simply does not recognize it, and there is no program info.

I also cannot scroll through the channels on the on-screen guide past 248 (I just get the "GONG" when trying to go past 248). I can, however input manually 2-4-9 (Comedy Central for me) and it will go to that channel, and I can continue to scroll from there.

After SEVERAL calls to customer service (and SEVERAL repeated Set-Up guides), the problem persists. I really think Tivo should credit me a month of service as MOST of my season passes are on this channel (Rescue Me, The Riches, Nip/Tuck, etc.), and now I have missed over a week of programs, and I still cannot get the Tivo box to recognize that FX is, in fact, coming in.

My Tivo has always been pretty faithful until now.

PLEASE HELP!

There are other replies in the duplicate threads.

Not to mention that this is not the standalone TiVo forum. :)

cross posting in multiple forums is considered bad taste. The one you have in the Tivo Help one would be the most likely to help you.

Hey, we're bored... things are slow around here since Directv hasn't made a unit with Tivo software in years.

I'll check my channel 248 tonight and see if I can schedule recordings. Never record from that network, so not sure mine works, either.
