No video in after reboot :(

My Tivo rebooted this afternoon, and since then I have been unable to get ANY video from it

When I try a channel change, the channel banner (at the top of the screen) changes, but I don't see the channel numbers being sent to my Sky box

The Sky box IS on and I can change channels on that fine

I've now also tried two more reboots - the problem is still there

It's almost as if a cable has fallen out (but it's highly unlikely - nothing and no-one has been any where near the cables - I can't even get to them to check!!)

In the kernel log, I see this (which I don't recall ever seeing before) - is it relevant?

Code:
Jun 15 18:51:43 (none) kernel: tuning:lock 0 
Jun 15 18:51:49 (none) last message repeated 143 times
Jun 15 18:51:49 (none) kernel: cxd: Could not CxdBoot 
Jun 15 18:51:49 (none) kernel: mediaswitch: Couldn't po_reset the encoder 
Jun 15 18:51:49 (none) kernel: mediaswitch: returning -1 from standin tune after tuning to ch -3 with adjust 0 
Jun 15 18:51:49 (none) kernel: tuning:lock 0

Jun 15 18:51:52 (none) kernel: tuning:lock 0

Jun 15 18:51:53 (none) kernel: mediaswitch: returning -1 from standin tune after tuning to ch -3 with adjust 0 
Jun 15 18:51:53 (none) kernel: tuning:lock 0 
Jun 15 18:51:56 (none) last message repeated 73 times
and these lines are repeated and repeated and repeated

Also, during the restart, Tivo reports

Code:
Jun 15 14:01:35 (none) kernel: EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended 
Jun 15 14:01:37 (none) last message repeated 2 times
Any and all suggestions gratefully received

I don't want my Tivo to die :(:(:(:(

Have you just done a reboot or a power off?
Indeed I would power cycle both the Sky box & Tivo.

Tivo reboots after an hour if it sees no video signal so that may have been the initial cause.

Automan.

Ahh - Just a regular reboot

I'll try a power cycle (with my fingers crossed)

Also, I have no idea why it initially rebooted - I thought it was one of those "Rule 834" ones, but there is no sign of ANY reboot reason in the kernel log
Have you got auto standby turned on in your Sky box? That would cause a reboot for the reasons Automan gave.

Yayyy!! :):):)

Power cycle has indeed cured my woes

Don't you just HATE computers :p:)

PS Most of those weird messages have gone too - I'm just left with
Code:
un 15 19:19:22 (none) kernel: EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
which I am inclined to ignore

Thanks for all your speedy help

No - we dealt with that a long time ago :rolleyes:
