    This has happened once before, and a full restart of the Tivo fixed it. The blue bars show up on every channel once it starts happening, in addition to the main tivo menu. I recorded a bunch of football today, but I'm not sure if this causes the problem or not.

    Do I have a defective unit or is this a known issue? I tried searching but couldn't find any information. Most complaints w/ the tivo hd seem to be w/ pixelation.

    Are you using component or HDMI?

    If you are using component, it could be a ground issue of some kind. I would be more concerned if you see this over both component and HDMI.

    I'm using HDMI. It doesn't happen immediately -- as far as I can tell, it happens after a few hours of heavy usage.

    Do you have any other sources that you can use to confirm that it is the Tivo and not your TV?

    I have an HDMI dvd player that this has never occured with. Also, when I reboot the Tivo it goes away

    I would probably return it and swap it for another.
