Is anyone else have problems or have problems near their Tivo series2 box?

I have a 40 hr Tivo Series2 box that a short time ago doesn't seem to be working 100% these long-gone couple of weeks. It is like 4-5 years feeble, but yet it doesn't seem to be "old enough" to be have problems! But my recordings are jumpy, the box won't without delay respond to the remote (batteries are fine)...I came home today and get the screen "almost within, just a few more minutes." I enjoy restarted it 3 times now and it only just freezes at that screen. Anyone else have problems? Is it time to get a strange box or just be merciful?
thanks!


Answers:    Sounds resembling the hard drive is getting arranged to crash. Your TiVo is actually nought more than a simple computer, and you record adjectives your shows to a computer hard drive, which can later many thousands of hours, but after 4-5 years of constant spinning, it may be time to replace it.

I've get a TiVo Series2DT box, as well as an elder ReplayTV (TiVo's former competitor!) box, and an HD DVR box from Cox cable. The one big disadvantage TiVo has over the other two boxes, is the reality that it's meant to be not here on all the time. Of course, you can power it rotten, if you go low enough into their menu system. The ReplayTV & Cox boxes both enjoy Off buttons, which lets their firm drives get well-deserved downtime. In a moment ago 4 years, your TiVo drive has be running for over 34,000 hours without a break!
