I tried to do a search for Sat T-60 problems but I can't seem to find any other postings about it. I went to hinsdale-how-to and went through the SAT T-60 sets. I used a non-Quantum drive, 200GB. It reports 187 Hours record time when I use it in the TiVo but after 2 weeks of complete flawless functioning, it started showing some strange errors that seem to be HD related.
The only step I skipped was the use of the TiVoMad utility because I couldn't get it to boot on any of the PC's I had available. The instructions said if you don't do it with a Series 1 TiVo it won't boot, and mine boots just fine so I thought I was in the clear. I didn't do anything else out of the ordinary and still have my original drive in its original configuration, ETC. Here are the problems that poped up a little less than 2 weeks later:
Two of my recordings that were an hour long freezes about 15 minutes in and then the whole TiVo reboots and restarts. If you warp to the end, you can backward jump to close to the area and continue playing.
Another one of my recordings doesn't exist. It tries to play and then brings up an error show not found or something like that.
I cracked open the case to find the HD incredibly hot, hotter than I would like it. I'm leaving it open with a small fan blowing on it to see if it is simply a heat issue.
Has anyone else experienced this? I haven't done anything else to this TiVo but this since I bought before the 2nd tuner was activated. Its been kept up to date by dial-in process and still has the lifetime sub on it.
Thanks for the help.
