Please help me program Pioneer AV Input with Bolt Remote

I am unable to program the Pioneer Input to the Input button on Bolt Remote, a feat I had achieved years ago on the old Tivo remote. Everytime I try to program it, it changes the inputs on my Pioneer TV.

Any help is appreciated.

Need image file for TiVo Series 3 HD

The hard drive on my old TiVo Series 3 HD has failed completely. It was running for years with a 1TB hard drive which no longer works at all. I have purchased a new 1TB hard drive but don't have the image for this drive to be able to use it I'm my old, formally reliable, TiVo (btw, it has lifetime service).

I also have a TiVo Roamio which will format a blank drive with no additional software needed but this format won't work in the old series 3.

I cannot get anything from the old...

Why is it that CBS skips a show because of an overrun?

Why is it that CBS sometimes skips a show when there is a lengthy sports overrun, like the Masters a few weeks ago?

The Official New TV Show Thread

Inspired by The Official British TV Show Thread, and the complaints inside, I figured I would try to start a new TV show thread.

The purpose of the thread is to post any new show about to premiere or that has just premiered preferably with a trailer and a brief description. Malcontent has a great format in the British thread and I would like to try to keep it along those lines. Please use the official show threads...

I am sick of the flashing lights.... what drive is safe in June 2017?

I have a bolt with the seagate 2tb that I removed from an enclosure about a year ago. I bought 2 more Bolts and 2 more seagates a month ago. Both of the new drives have already failed. This morning the year old Bold/drive had the flashing lights. Pulling the plug got that one restarted again.
I want to be done with Bolt drives. The Bolt drive flashing light threads have gotten really long.

I have a 3tb toshiba arriving today and a 2tb WD arriving next week.

Are either (or both) of...

MFS Tools 3.2

• Backwards compatible with MFS Tools v1 and v2.
• Supports 8 TB on Premiere (perhaps more, tested with dual 4 TB drives).
• Supports 8 TB on Roamio (perhaps more, tested with dual 4 TB drives)....

Stranger Things (full season spoilers)

OK, so Hopper is now working for the Men in Black, Eleven is apparently trapped on the other side, and Will is either not Will, or (more likely) not entirely Will, or (less likely) not on our side any more.

Interesting that Nancy ended up with Steve rather than Jonathan.

I liked that people communicated with each other when there was opportunity, but there wasn't always opportunity. E.g., if Hopper and the kids had compared notes, things could have progressed a lot faster, but why...

I'm not sure on the rules for posting about shows airing in the UK prior to the US but season 2, particularly episodes 3 and 4, has been fantastic so far.

Where to get roamio basic or OTA cooling fan replacement

I need to replace the cooling fan in my Roamio basic DVR and from what I understand it is the same fan that is used in the Roamio OTA model also.

Has any one found a good source and what model # and where did you buy it from?

Update:
Found the replacement fan needed and have explained where I got them and a idea as to make the fan replacement much faster if needed again in the 7th post in this thread.

Mini loses connection repeatedly

Recently, our Mini started repeatedly losing connection to our Roamio. Usually when watching live TV, (but sometimes during streaming a recording), it will fail with 'Lost Connection - V87'. This sometimes corresponds to a 'C133 - Temporary Service Connection failure' error on the main menu. When this happens, simply hitting 'OK' and going back to Live TV works.

This happens as often as every 30 seconds or so, which makes it pretty unusable. But streaming Netflix, etc. works fine.

pyTivo - Transcoding server

pyTivo lets you stream most videos from your PC to your unhacked TiVo. It uses the HMO server protocol, so no hacking of the TiVo is required.

* It will guess if your video is 4:3 or 16:9 and pad your video if it thinks it is needed (looked good on my tests).
* It will not transcode an mpeg that is supported by your TiVo.
* It will stream TiVo recordings (.tivo).
