Tivo mini has blue circles for "My Shows" and "What to watch"

Try a soft reset:
Thumbs Down
Thumbs Up
Play
Play

If that fails, tell TiVo to put you on the list of others that have that issue. I can cause it by pulling my network connection during power up, but it always goes away. I seldom use the Mini VOX.

 

I have the exact same issue. It started when I tried connecting my 2 Minis (both gen 1) to a Bolt that I purchased with the summer "transfer all-in for $99" deal. I still have a Roamio Plus on my network, and when I connect the Minis to the Roamio, they work perfectly. But reconnect to the Bolt and I get the BSC on Main screen, and blank screen on "What to Watch". I have tried a ton of things including the soft reset, and the tips on at least one other thread about this, but no change. Yesterday I sent an e-mail to Tivo Support about it, but no response yet. I will have to give them a call next.

 

Same blue circle swirl / spinning situation for me with a Roamio OTA VOX. After coming here and reading about the unannounced feature, forced ads, I suspect my AdGuard DNS is blocking a domain my TiVo is trying to reach. I rolled back my unit to TE3 and I'm much happier with a cleaner user interface.

Just out of curiosity. Is your Mini connected via Ethernet or MOCA? Mine are connected by MOCA, so thinking of temporarily connecting via Ethernet to see if there's a difference, but need to get a long ethernet cable first.

 

I have the same problem with a new Bolt and an A93 Mini I recently setup. Using MoCa. I did try ethernet and I believe I had the same problem.

 

FYI, sometime with the past week or so, this issue mysteriously fixed itself on both my Minis, with no changes or further troubleshooting from me.

 

Fixed for me too. Thanks for your update.

 

On my Mini Vox in bedroom the spinning blue circle is gone, have not checked other mini. How is it for everyone now?

 

Just checked. Coming out of Standby no BSC. Awesome.
