  • Tivo shuts off while in standby

    I have and HR20-250 that was recently spontaneously rebooting. The hard drive passed quick and full tests. Reinstalled software. Now, the machine occasionally (? 1/wk) just completely shuts down on its own from standby, requiring unplugging and reboot. Everything seems normal when it reboots; recorded and scheduled programs still there, etc. Is this a sign that the hard drive is really bad despite passing tests, or an indication of power supply problems, or something else completely. Is there a way to figure this out before spending the money on a new drive or power supply? Could this be a power cord problem? Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yup - I'm pretty sure that hard drive is really bad. Even though the tests say they're normal, we do sometimes see this behavior, and swapping the drive fixes it.
    Been here a long time . . .
