Tivo 2 Go Doesn't...

[RebelPrufrock]

I have a simple home network:one pc,one router,one tivo series 2. I installed Tivo Desktop 2.5.1 and had great success in transferring my tivo files to my pc. Then, in order to watch those same files on the TV, I purchased the Desktop Plus and installed 2.6.1.

Instead of any success or satisfaction I now have no Tivo Server. Although the services continue to run on my computer, taking up valuable resources, I cannot get the server or desktop to start.

I have uninstalled in several different configurations. I have cleaned the registry and everything else I can think of. I have employed Tivo's own un-install 'cleaner' program.
I have rolled back to 2.51. I have re-installed this program at least six or more times.
I have wasted many hours of my valuable time attempting to resolve this by taking the actions outlined above. I have combed the forums, blogs the whole web for some solution, some registry edit, some key that will get this to work.

All of this I have done without any success.

And I have called Tivo Support: she disconnected me.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Tivo: When are you going to get some accountability and get some techs on this? On second thought,don't bother - I'll switch to Comcast -

If you roll back to 2.5.1, you're going to need the updated certificate (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=390216).

Are you seeing any messages when trying to start TiVo Desktop? What OS are you using? Do you have any firewall software that could be blocking your TiVos from seeing your PC?

Seems to me you are blaming flaming Tech support for a disconnect. Just call again.

I just had the same issue. I bought a copy of Plus and after a while the server won't start. I reinstalled, rebooted, put 2.51 back on, all the stuff posted here and what you did. I finally just used Acronis to restore an older image with 2.51 and it worked for me. 2.61 seems buggier than ****. They need to beta test this stuff longer before releasing it.
