The culprit here is the harmony remote, it is its series 1 commands that are effecting your tivo. The tivo can get used to series 1 or series 2 commands, but when it sees both, it things don't work right. Replace the Guide & menu commands in the harmony by teaching it from your series two remote.
"live tv" button showing guide?
So, I'm stumped here as to what could be happening. Maybe someone else can explain this to me, or point me in the direction of what's going on, or has had the same experience and knows how to solve it?
For the past few months, this happens 1-2 times a week. I can clear it by rebooting the tivo, but this (typically) happens right before I'm going to tivo something.
What happens is the live tv button (typically used to change between tuners) turns itself into the "guide" button, showing the guide itself, not switching between tuners. This makes it impossible for the tuner itself to be changed, thus negating the benefits of a DT tivo!
Like I said, rebooting this stops this, but there's got to be a better solution to solving this. I know it's not the remote, because it does this not only on the Series 2 remote, but on my Harmony 880, the same exact thing. While two remotes might (possibly) do the same thing, the chances of that I'd say are pretty random.
Tivo information:
Series 2
Software version 8.301-2-649
Service Level C
Not sure if any of that helps, or if it appears I'm just rambling. This is one of my busier Tivo nights, and it just hit again

That doesn't work for *me* Mick.
I was fiddling with a Sony programmable remote just this a.m. when I encountered the OP's bizarre "Live TV" is now "Guide" problem. For the Sony remote, I had selected as a starting point a "Philips DVR" from its short list of available codes.
At least now I know what is happening. So I will:
1. Rid the Sony remote of the old "Philips" code first
2. Start from scratch and teach it only from my S3 peanut
3. Re-boot the Tivo S3
Thought I was going nuts this morning--tivocommunity to the rescue!
