i've been subscribed to various tivocasts for quite a while. some have been quite reliable and others have reflected various levels of problematic behavior at different times. consistently the most problematic one has been rocketboom.
in fact the rocketboom tivocast feed seems to be dead and has been stuck on the episode from thursday the 8th, since thursday the 8th. but the rocketboom web page has been on the friday the 9th episode since about noon (pacific time) on friday the 9th.
possibly related to the above rocketboom problem is the behavior i experienced this past weekend on the TiVo HD that has been subscribed to these various tivocasts. the HD has a blue front panel light that turns on when a tivocast is being downloaded. this light remained on all night on friday and yet there was no tivocast episode ever shown in the now playing list (the one being downloaded usually appears at the top of the list marked by a blue ball. the blue ball routinely disappears when the download is complete.) at any time.
i ended up deleting all my tivocasts in the now playing list and all my tivocast season passes. then i did a power reset to finally get the blue light to turn off. after that i added most of my season passes back one at a time. i didn't add back rocketboom and any of the others that had apparently quit sending episodes on a regular basis.
anyone else having any of these experiences?
