First off try again to reboot/restart... try and get the error message that you had received and write it down.
Stuck on "Deleting guide data" page
Hi.
Not been here for ages but typically a problem brings me back
My Tivo has stopped recording programs and when trying to add a recording manually gave an error message (Which I didn't write down but had dbb in there somewhere ) saying to call customer service if it continued to happen.
Tried a reboot but no better.
Then tried to delete some season passes. Went through the normal delete process but when getting back to the season pass page the entry was still there. Tried a few more but couldn't delete any.
I then decided to use the delete all guide data and season pass option from the menu and the Tivo rebooted to a page saying this will take an hour.
Two hours later it was still on this page so I rebooted and it came up back on the same advisory page.
It has now been running for about 14 hours with no change.
My question is is there anything else I can do without taking it to pieces?
Any help appreciated I have had the Tivo since launch so I guess the drives are getting on a bit now.
Cheers
Gary

Thanks for the answers.
Tried another power cycle with my remote application (Wife ) and still reverts to the deleting data screen.
I hadn't heard of the kickstart procedure. I will give it a go when I get back.
I don't have access to a bash prompt.
I was thinking of sticking a bigger disk in but now I guess I won't be able to keep my programs if I need to use a new image.
Fingers crossed.

OK.
Tried the kickstart 58 and it came up with a screen saying "Installing new software from the Tivo service. This will take a few minutes"
No GSOD's.
After this screen was on a while it reverted to the deleting guide data screen
Is it worth trying the kickstart 52 ?
