My TiVo S3 froze for the second straight Tuesday before primetime and I didn't notice until 9:30, causing it to fail to record House, NCIS and the first half of Fringe (again). I've come to expect it to freeze up every now and then but this is more than annoying. Luckily, I can watch NCIS as an HD stream on Netflix tomorrow (using my Xbox) and the beginning of Fringe on Hulu (using my PC, which is always connected to the same television that TiVo is), but House is delayed 8 days on Hulu, so if I want to watch it tomorrow I'll have to pay for it on Unbox :rolleyes:.
There really ought to be some kind of low-level watchdog timer that would sense this condition and cause an automatic reboot.
