Your TiVo may be getting ready to give problems but first, which model TiVo is it?Sometimes when I change my TV input over to my Tivo the remote will not work.
I have tried both my universal and the Tivo's remote.
The red light flashes on the Tivo remote and also the amber light flashes on the Tivo but it does nothing.
I have to power it down and back up and then it is fine.
Does anyone know what's going on.
Well, at least we've eliminated the spawn of Satan otherwise know as HDMI, provided you're really talking about red, green, and blue plugged cables for the video and red and white ones for the audio.The model number is: TCD652160
Cable comes in via coax cable - Wall to splitter to Tivo.
Then out to TV using component cables.
This has only happened twice.
When we turn our devices on, TV, Receiver, Cable it is in cable input.
I then change the TV over to the Tivo input and the remote does nothing.
As mentioned I get flashing lights on both remote and tivo when I push a buttons.
Thanks,
Debbie
So you currently have 2 TCD652160 units, one not working, one mostly working?It's a Mitz 55" Wide projection.
About 10 years old.
I checked settings and could not find anything about power saving or backlighting.
The only thing that has changed lately is that my Tivo bit the dust the other night.
I did find another one with the same model number on Craig's list.
Everything worked great setting it up and have had no problems except the remote issue twice.
If we continue to have problems or other issue arise we would just get a new one for about $99 at Best Buy. Prices have come way down so that is an option.
Definitely if this happens again I will check and see if the picture is locked up also.
I would figure if it is locked it could be the Hard drive.
If it is not locked than I'm not sure.
Thanks,
Debbie
