I can’t live with only one TiVo!
I came home from traveling a few days to find that the TiVo unit in the bedroom has suddenly given up the ghost on me. It was paused on a show that I know I wasn’t watching when I left the house and was stuck. I unplugged the unit, plugged it back in and it came up with the familiar “Powering Up” message.
And that’s as far as it will go.
A while back it was making some ticking sounds like the hard drive was going out in it so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, but the ticking stopped probably a year ago. Well, whatever decided to take the life of my beloved TiVo has come back. Why it chose to take the newer of the two boxes I own is a mystery to me, but either way now I’m down to one TiVo … and (sadly) that doesn’t seem to be enough for me. I miss having the TiVo in the bedroom full of The Daily Show episodes that I can watch for a few minutes before going to sleep.
So I’ve decided I should buy a new one. (I lasted a whole 4 days before giving up the idea of a single box.) Why not, the new DT ones work with my cable box that has been collecting dust - and yet costing me $5 a month - for a couple of years now.
