My Tivo has recently started having a mind of its own. It will not respond after I select a up down left or right as well as fast forward rewind, etc... I have tried restarting gracefully as well as powering off completely. After I powered it off, it got stuck at the powering up screen and would not go any further. I then restored the backup image from 6 months ago using MFSrestore and replaced the drive. This time it booted up just fine, but it still has the same problem. It is like it is taking a button press and multiplying the effects by 10. I have tried changing the remote control batteries, blocking the remote sensor, removing the batteries (when I do, it continues to push the option until it stops)
Tivo Details: Series2 w/40GB original drive, upgraded to 160GB 1 year ago. Wireless USB Dell adapter, remote IR controls to my DirecTV receiver. Software 7.1.xxx
Example:
I push Right to go into Now Playing and it keeps going Right for about 10 more times, it even makes the sound and everything. This is really annoying and I am concerned that my Tivo may be faulty and I have a lifetime subscription.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated! I am willing to try any suggestions.
The current state is unusable because when you try to perform something, it stopps responding momentarily until it calms down, which is too late because it has already gone to 3 different menus and changed settings.
Thanks,
