TiVo S2D2 No video

S2D2 - is that anything like the R2D2?
I believe you mean S2 DT.

TiVo has started the preliminary rollout of an update. Check your system information screen. If it says that you have version 8.3 then you haven't gotten any update. If it's higher than 8.3, you have the latest update, but I don't know what all the changes are.

 

What kind of remote are you using? Maybe something is putting the box into Standby mode? How is the DT box connected to the monitor?

 

That's unlikely because there is no direct to standby option/feature.

Are you turning the monitor on separately from everything else? Is it possible that you turn on the monitor (just the monitor) and it's not on the correct input for the Tivo and then you press the button labeled Tivo on the harmony which is actually an activity button that doesn't bring the tivo to tivo central as tivo button on a peanut remote would, but rather sets up your system to watch Tivo by turning on the a/v receiver and TV and putting the TV on the proper input?

 

Yes there is ... there is a discrete Standby code and you can use it on the Harmony remotes.

 

That's news to me.

 

Yeah, double check the TiVo in the Harmony software. Make sure it's set to "always leave this device on" otherwise when you use the Off on your Harmony it will turn off all the other devices (receiver, TV, etc.) and put the TiVo into Standby.
