Not getting live tv

My tivo just yesterday stopped getting live tv, there is no sound and just a black screen. I can press the info button and it will show what is supposed to be on the channel, but it is all black. I am using a coax cable going from the tivo to the tv, and I have tried connecting my cable line straight to the tv and the cable comes in fine. I have restarted my tivo and gone through guided setup again. In guided setup however, when its asking what station is on a certain channel, its always black in the background. Can someone help?

How is the Tivo connected to the cable box?

Did you restart by going through the menus and choosing "restart" or did you pull the plug? Sometimes hard restart fixes things that a soft restart doesn't.

No cable box. I moved the tivo to the living room, switched it with my other tivo and now it works. Moved it back to my bedroom and works again. The hard reset probably fixed it. Thanks!
