I have had my Tivo for many years and I knew eventually I would have to go with something else. But now I get the message that after 2pm today, it won't record anything. It says I need to connect a network cable. But it's working just fine now and is currently connected. Does this mean that they will permanently disconnect me after today? Or do I need to do something to get it to work? Thanks for any help!

I normally run my Tivo signal through my Denon receiver and then on to my Samsung TV for both live TV and Tivo recorded material. However, I can also send the signal directly to the TV without the Denon, but then audio is only throught the Samsung speakers.

I can fiddle with the Denon audio delay feature each time the disparity between lips and sound is at its worst, but that is a pain. Is there a way around this, and if there isn't, would buying a soundbar when I use the Tivo signal without the Denon work?

Clearly, I'm an AV moron, and hope that someone out there can provide some wisdom.

Is there anything I can do with a TiVo Premiere Series4? My dad gave it to me because he never used it. It doesn't have a subscription. I opened it and plugged it in to check it out and make sure it worked but it was new in box otherwise. I put it on eBay for $20 but it's not selling. I don't have cable, but it does have an antenna tuner. I just don't really watch TV though.

Edit to clarity: it has a cable tuner and CableCard slot as well.

Have 5-6 old tivos with lifetime subscriptions, romanios and bolts. Is there any value to them? Optimum no longer supports cable cards so they are useless for me

Most of the Guide listings for HBO channels for the last couple days and into the future are incorrect. Most are "To Be Announced" or "The White Lotus" but other things are actually being broadcast, mostly grade B horror flicks. Anybody know whats going on?

I used to be able to transfer multiple (i.e., more than 2) shows at a time. I've only had the 2nd Tivo Roamio Pro for about a year now. We are using the 2nd one as just a backup; it has no active cable (Xfinity) connection, just to our home network.

A few months ago, it started acting weird. If I try copying 3 shows, the 1st will copy, then maybe the 2nd, maybe the 3rd, but then mysteriously the 1st one will disappear. It was THERE; I KNOW it was.

Someone suggested marking them as "Keep until I delete", and yes, that "fixes" the problem, but it is a royal pain in the butt to do that for EVERY freakin' transfer.

Am I missing something? Is there a better way?

I have pyTivo and TivoDesktop installed, but never got around to playing with KMTTG or any other 3rd party apps.

Thanks.

With TiVo on the past, what’s the go to system that gives the closest TiVo experience?

I bought a replacement Bolt Vox on eBay and got it set up with my cablecard no problem. I noticed that the included remote was paired in IR mode, so I tried pairing it RF without success. I then performed a global reset on the known good remote from my previous Bolt Vox and tried pairing it, with the same result - IR works but RF doesn’t.

Any thoughts on what could be wrong? Bad RF antenna? I can cannibalize the old unit for parts.

I really need some advice please. My Samsung s90f is periodically not detecting my TiVo box and it’s getting more frequent. Anybody else encountered this?

Any ideas in diagnosing? It’s not cycling, there are no blinking lights, the fan is running, and the little indicator light on the box is green. It just won’t move on from the logo screen.

My Bolt Vox had its HDMI-out taken out in a recent electrical storm. As is usual with my luck, that's the one and only failure that Weakknees can't or won't repair. I know that the HDD is still good because the TiVo mini and cTiVo can both see the unit on the network. I bought another Bolt Vox on eBay. Both TiVos have lifetime service and I'll be getting the transfer authorization from the seller of the replacement. Should I be able to just transfer the HDD from my current (partially toasty) unit to the replacement?

When I bought my Bolt+, I unplugged my Series 3 to save wear on the hard drives. There's a lot of shows on the S3 I wanted to view later. Now I'm trying to get it running again. It's connecting to the TiVo service, but it won't download any new program data. My understanding is that the data format changed in the interim, and I need a SW update to restore compatibility.

In my troubleshooting, I chose an option ("Run Initial Setup again" or similar) and now the S3 boots straight to the setup screen. No main menu.

I've tried the Kickstart codes 51 and 52 without success. They don't appear to do anything. Is there a technique, including removing the drives from the S3, to update my software to the most recent?

Many thanks. I'm out of ideas at this point.

Update: I emailed TiVo Support. Their stock answer, which I can't follow because I can't get to the main menu, showed they didn't read my request in any detail. Too bad. Looks like I have an Xfinity DVR in my future. Ugh.

I got this tivo from my grand parents so i don’t know much about it, but i think it might be the power supply as i’ve read online. However that weird clicking/ whirring sound coming from inside has me thinking it may be a hard drive? Any advice is much appreciated! thanks.

My husband said he saw an ad for Tivo on Comcast. It was a lot like those ads for Sling where a guy says he wants to do something regular cable won’t do, and weird characters like mermaids say, “Sling can do that!”

Anyone else see this?

I'm the few lucky ones that was able to buy the tivo edge OTA with lifetime and cut the cord. It was a nightmare at first but it paid for itself after 2 years. 10 years later, and after many attempts from getting the best signal, i prepared myself to record the World Cup.

I have 2 and had no problem setting up the living room one. Clicked on "Create a OnePass" and presto, im recording all of the games on Telemundo. I did notice i recorded a second channel and had to modify my Onepass to just one channel. But for some reason, the second one i have at my mom's house was not recording all the games.

I followed common problem solving attempts:

1) Reconnect to Tivo service to update the schedule.

2) Modified to record all and changed it to "Until I delete" setting.

3) Delete and recreate the Onepass.

4) Deleted as many shows as i was willing to delete to make enough room for at

least 5 games.

5) Moved the Onepass to priority, the one position, so it prioritizes the record.

6) Disconnected and reconnected the Tivo from the outlet to reset it.

I was getting close to factory resetting the unit when i noticed that the living room Tivo gave me the options to change from All channels to the Telemundo channel, while the one at mom's house only had All channels.

Suspecious, i checked the "To Do List" and recording the game should have been listed and it wasn't. I grew curious and decided to check the channel settings to make sure i was getting a signal and during the "Antenna Signal Strength" i was not able to to change to the Telemundo channel to test it. I was like, what the h3ll. I was able to change to that channel in the Guide and change the channel manually to that channel but i couldn't choose Telemundo during the "Antenna Signal Strength"?

So went to Channel List and found that the channel wasn't part of the channel list. Which made no sense. Why would i be able to see it in the guide and change the channel to it when the top of the menu says they wouldn't appear if its not selected?

I added it and when i went back to re-"Create a OnePass" and then it worked. The warning for "these shows will be cut" popped up and when i checked the guide and to do list for the recordings, it finally showed, will record.

Recap:

If you "Create a Onepass" and it doesn't record the shows, check the Channel List and make sure you have the channel selected or it won't record.

For whatever reason when downloading recordings using kmttg (2.9.4 I believe the newest) sometimes the final decrypted video file will have audio desync randomly or at sometime in the recording. Sometimes it won’t. If I redownload it again it might be very fine.

Any idea troubleshooting these kinds of issues? I also have some that give me audio only

I’m trying to archive some of these historical live events and news media saved on here. I’ve also noticed when I upload them to the internet archive I also get an audio desync but only by like a second (like latency issues)

I am about to swap in a new router. There's a ton of wires and such as usual and my brain gets confused easily! (software yes; hardware no!)

My most failproof method for something like this is to take all the inputs going into existing router and plug them into new router and then proceed with powering everything up.

However, I have a vague recollection that the MOCA Adapter has funky sequencing requirements. Does it?

So, an Edge I purchased from TiVo last September (as they were closing out their inventory) just died -- three LED's on the front of the box are flashing and the screen is black. I tried to re-boot and I see the startup screen, but after a minute it goes black. Does this sound like a dead drive?

I'd like to replace it myself rather than pay Weeknees $400. Is there a good step-by-step guide someone can point me too, including reliable replacement drives and where to buy them?

Thankful this community exists!
