Series 2 Locks up when booting following latest service update

Somewhat common.

Unplug, wait a while, plug back in, keep trying.

And see here (click me).

calling them back right now raising hell, any one else?

Thanks for the reply. Mine finally fixed itself after multiple power cycles and much patience.

Sounds like a Tivo upgrade problem not a disk problem. See the thread referenced in the 2nd post above.

My Series 2 locks up now (I have the new 9.1 software) when I try to access the Download Tv Movies menu to go to Amazon Unbox and it will lock up when I try to access the Kidzone menu.
Any idea why? All of the other features seem to be working.

O-o-oh, yeah! We turned on the TV at breakfast this morning and got a TiVo screen saying it was installing a new update. The screen said it could take up to an hour, maybe more. We turned it off and tried again five hours later - no change! Unplugging it and repowering it did no good. It tried to boot, but never succeeded. I have no idea what software version is on it or what version it was trying to install.

Dang, we really can't watch TV any longer without TiVo. Live TV is so unforgiving. No replays, no watching shows when I want to-not when the network schedules them. I want my TiVo back!
