MCARD was just inserted - Randomly shows up

Just wanted to let you know I've seen this happen twice now on both my two week old Bolts. Is it still happening to you?

 

Has happened 4-5 times on my parents Bolt that is 3 weeks old. It's very frustrating for them. I've raved about Tivo's for a decade to them and the first one they get, they have had a handful of issues like this.

 

Static IMO it's unlikely this is a hardware issue at all. Others are reporting the same problem on the Bolt forum. You need to file a case at http://tivo.com/support. Until they hear from a number of people, a fix is unlikely.

 

Unless there are a whole bunch of bad card ports on recently sold Bolts... no.

 

I'm having the same issue and the only way to get back functionality is to pull the power on the device. The Bolt recognizes button presses on the remote (you can see the LED on the box blink), but nothing happens.

I've submitted a support request.

 

Margret got back to me on Twitter:

@lynnl999 @tapatalk Please email me TSNs with subject "CableCARD issue" margret at tivo dot com​

Please do this if you are having this problem! We need as many instances as possible.

 

Emailed her.

 

Check out this workaround:

Saves you having having to do a hard reboot.

 

Thanks, that'll save me time and less worry about adversely affecting the hard drive by disconnecting power to it.

 

I've been seeing this issue now for a week or two on my Roamio. I've had it for several years now and this is the first time I've seen the problem. So far I've always been able to clear it without trouble and it hasn't seemed to disturb the receipt of signal from the cable. (But I'm not certain of that.)

Initially it was happening perhaps once per day, but now it seems to be happening gradually more often.

 

After a long streak of it not happening, it happened again this morning. I followed the instructions they gave me and will be sending over the info I collected.
