blue circles are back

Can't help you there. Encore with Roamio Pro, Roamio OTA and two Minis. Smooth sailing.

 

No issues here, Bolt running Hydra

 

nope, not in a while. what function(s) triggered the bsc?

Those are called 'spinny circles'. But, seriously, I haven't seen it too much lately - every now and then but it's only momentary.

I don't have Hydra on either of my boxes, FWIW.

 

BSC. No, not on my boxes. I can usually cause one by "stressing" a TiVo server. Just use Search. Enter a letter or number. Now keep scrolling. I wager you will eventually run out of guesses and start slowing down.

 

how often? was a connection in progress?

 

i don't have hydra, but from past experiences, it sounds like you're describing tivo server slowness that other hydra users have also reported:

Hydra Issues​

if it were constant, i would suggest a reboot of your home network and tivo, and while it wouldn't hurt, i don't think it would help, either - sorry.

 

Going through this now with RC12 on my Roamio Plus. I can’t do anything

 

Whenever any internet based program flakes, always reboot the router first, you you you Knucklehead!!

 

I’ve seen some of these on my Mini with Hydra and Roamio lately. Never had them before Hydra that I can remember.

 

I am having the blue spinning circles too.

 

yeah...I JUST LOVE NOT BEING ABLE TO WATCH MY RECORDED SHOWS

I mean, seriously WTF. There is absolutely no reason I should not be able to watch shows that have already been recorded.

(first thing I tried was rebooting the tivo, modem, and router...still the blue spinning circle of death)

 

Yup me too. I rebooted the router and the Tivo Vox. Neither fixed the issue. Also is happening on the Tivo Vox Mini. We can't access anything!!

 

So I wonder if this has to do with some kind of analytics piece they are introducing. On my account in the contact section there is this message...

Also found this on the Tivo forums. I can confirm that if you unplug the ethernet cable the recording are immediately available. Either the box can't phone home or there is something wrong with the ethernet port/driver. Seriously, if this is attributed to one of THEIR services being down I am going to be pissed. That is just not acceptable to me.

Might be related to the voice functionality. That's not working properly for me.

 

My modem is on a power strip. When blue circles get really bad, I turn off the modem. Usually by the time I finish watching a show, TiVo servers are okay.
