"External Storage Missing" - I've read all the threads about this and they all are one time problems that a user is trying to get through. Me? A reboot or two usually fixes it, my issue is the fact that I get this once a week. This is driving me nuts!

It's a lifetime series 3 TiVo with the TiVo sanctioned My DVR Expander eSata etc.

I know...reboot...etc...but this happens to me once a week...but I'm looking for a long term solution. Could it just be a bad cable? The eSata cable is so loosey goosey that it wouldn't surprise me, but seems like that's just how those cables are in general.

Anyone out there have the same way too consistent experience? And fixed it?

THanks in advance!

John

Sounds like a loose cable to me. You might try the SIIG cable mentioned in the Drive Expansion FAQ, stickied at the top of the forum.
