Need image file for TiVo Series 3 HD

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.

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.

A coworker told me about this show. It is essentially like Cops but is aired live on Friday and Saturday nights on A&E. The show usually follows about 4-5 different police departments live and they bounce around between departments/officers where there is something interesting going on.

It's totally watching a train-wreck. One thing is for sure, I will never go to that one county in South Carolina where every week there is always all sorts of crazy stuff going down.

Well, this is certainly not the best new comedy on TV. I would give it a solid "C+" rating for the pilot.

Deactivated TiVoHD: Any Value or Use

  2. Will I be able to transfer non-copy protected programs to my PC?...

I have a TiVo Roamio and 2 TiVo minis that were receiving off air only at my old house. I was going to get a M-card from Suddenlink and pop it into my Roamio (has cable card slot) and use it for my main TV, my TiVo minis were going to be used on the 2nd and 3rd TVs. Instead, I went with Suddenlink's TiVo DVR. When the cable technician came out to...

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere. I've found some general discussions that touched on the topic of heat. Several have reported ODT on their Bolts around 60 +/-. However, I installed a Bolt+ last week and ODT is measuring 68-71 on an open shelf. Low 60's in standby mode. Any thoughts on whether I should be concerned about this?

Kevin Can Wait - Pilot

Well, this is certainly not the best new comedy on TV. I would give it a solid "C+" rating for the pilot. Of course they had to cram a lot of plot into the dialog, which is always painful in the first episode of anything. Kevin is a retired cop with a decent looking wife, and some familiar looking friends. So, I guess they were like, let's make another King of Queens, only slightly different. If you like James physical comedy and his dopey antics, this is your kind of show. The acting was...

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.

Help replacing dying drive in stock TiVo HD

I have a TiVo HD with lifetime service, and no hardware upgrades. It still has the stock 160 GB hard drive, and after ~9 years of service, it's finally giving up. At least I assume that's the problem. The TiVo is stuck in a reboot loop, sometimes reaching "Almost There", sometimes rebooting before that. I suppose I could have a capacitor problem, but I feel like I should try replacing the hard drive first.

A coworker told me about this show. It is essentially like Cops but is aired live on Friday and Saturday nights on A&E. The show usually follows about 4-5 different police departments live and they bounce around between departments/officers where there is something interesting going on.

It's totally watching a train-wreck. One thing is for sure, I will never go to that one county in South Carolina where every week there is always all sorts of crazy stuff going down.

I have no use for the kids app, but Tubi TV actually has some decent content.

For someone without cable and only a handful of OTA channels this is a pretty good addition to the TiVo. It's free (supported by ads), but you are required to create an account to watch R rated movies. That only involves giving them an email address and birth date (doesn't necessarily have to be real).

Anybody want to explain Usenet to me like I'm seven?

I've decided that I'd like to watch Doctor Who in hi-def, commercial free and without all the crap BBC America plasters on the screen. I already know how to download using torrents. I got a "We caught you!" email from Comcast last year when I used utorrent even though I used PeerBlock and want to avoid getting another one. I've heard that Usenet is the way to go. How do I get started? What client should I use? Is there a host I need an account on?

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...

And that didn't last long.... Mythbusters: The Search has a host

The show has not been off the air very long, and a new spinoff which may lead directly into a relaunch of the series now has a host: Kyle Hill

Anyone know anything about this guy?

I liked Mythbusters a lot, but it really is hard to say if I really just liked the hosts or the concept. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Fear the Walking Dead - Season 3 Thread - *spoilers for episodes aired*

I think it will be better to do a season thread this year rather than individual episode threads. If you disagree and think we'll have enough participation for episode threads, go ahead and start them and I'll be happy to participate there.

I was very surprised that they killed off Travis. I figured he'd be one of the main characters like Rick on TWD who is always there. But I'm actually kind of glad. His character was starting to drive me crazy.

It will be interesting to see what's going...

No picture or sound on Roamio OTA

I came home from a few weeks out of town and there was no picture or sound from the OTA. A quick glance at the receiver and there was no sync'd HDMI signal on the input.

We have a Tivo Mini, and from that I can see that everything else about the OTA seems to be ok. Recordings are being made, we can watch shows & delete them, etc. Ultimately, the OTA is still online and working - it just doesn't seem to be anything out on the HDMI port.

The closest thing to an "event" that I can think of,...

The cover doesn't obviously slide one way or another. There's kinda a lip on one side you can press or pull, but I don't want to do either with too much force. And without knowing which way it goes, I don't know if I'm not pushing hard enough, or if there's a hidden latch, or.... I...

I'm using a Tivo Roamio Pro and have it setup to stream to the iPhone and iPad apps with no problem. But when I view the shows on online.tivo.com I don't see any sort of "play" or "watch" button.

New Tubi TV app has pretty good free content.

Two new apps popped up on the Roamio OTA. Ameba kids TV and Tubi TV.
I have no use for the kids app, but Tubi TV actually has some decent content.

For someone without cable and only a handful of OTA channels this is a pretty good addition to the TiVo. It's free (supported by ads), but you are required to create an account to watch R rated movies. That only involves giving them an email address and birth date (doesn't necessarily have to be real).

TiVo UI Control via Telnet - No Hacking Required!

As many of you may have already heard, TiVo added support for Crestron systems back in software version 9.1 but there isn't a whole lot of information available about from TiVo or from Crestron.

After thinking about it for a small while, my curiosity was piqued, and I decided to try and figure out the protocol Crestron was using to talk to an unhacked TiVo, and how we non-Crestron users could somehow harness it.

As it turns out both the TiVo HD and Series3 units now listen on port...

Roamio OTA with Hulu is garbage

Dearest TiVo,
Please fix your completely broken implementation of Hulu on your Roamio boxes. It's a horrible experience. The content continuously stops and stutters even though the network is fine. I can watch Hulu on iPad, and Win10 laptop with no issues while the Roamio continuously pauses content with "loading". It's a joke!!!

There's nothing wrong with the network. It's either your garbage code or your hardware is way under powered. As other streams seem to work just fine I'm guessing...

Tivo Series 3 - Bad capacitors in power supply

Word of warning... It appears that Tivo has used a power supply in the Series 3 units that has bad capacitors. My series 3 went down last week and being well out of warranty (I jumped on the Series 3 upgrade promotion) I opened the case. The first obvious issue was the Capxon (known bad capacitor vendor) brand capacitor bulging and starting to leak.

I wonder how many other Series 3 units are experiencing this problem.
