My Tivo’s been acting up pretty bad for the last couple weeks. The serious issue was that it’s just been spontaneously rebooting… at least twice a day. Overheating was my first guess but it hasn’t been hot at all. Eh…

So tonight I finally did a software update. I don’t have a phone line so I rummaged through my box ‘o shit and found a bunch of long phone lines. None of ‘em were long enough so I connected a few to each other with DSL filters & stretched the makeshift line across the yard to the main house in order to get a dial tone. The upgrade’s finally done and I in time we’ll see if the rebooting BS has stopped.

I read some stuff on Tivo forums and lots of people blamed the 6.3d software and claimed upgrading to 6.3e took care of the issues. Problem is, like i mentioned above, I don’t have a phone line so the last update I did was 357 days ago. That pretty much rules out the software issue and I’m worried it may be some failing hardware. This would suck since Tivo and DirecTv no longer have a deal and if I wanted a new unit I’d have to get the bullshit DirecTv branded DVR.

Anyways, I hope this new software magically fixes my problem. I dunno what I’d do without my Tivo; I’d be lost without him.
