Pending Restart / Service Update Loop
I have an TiVo Brand S2 with v. 8.1 and it seems to be trying to applying a service update at 2 am everyday for the last 5-6 days.
I tried doing several manual restarts and each time the screen says that it's loading a service update but the version number doesn't change from 8.1.a-01-2-140. (I assume it trying to load 8.3)
After I connect manually, via "Connect to TiVo service now", or after TiVo connects at it scheduled time, it will show a "pending restart" in the system screen.
Everything seems to be working except OK, I can receive program updates, etc., and my wireless internet connection is working (I also tested a dial-up connection), because I can receive program updates and I can make and receive DVR name changes.
I know my TiVo has been rebooting at night because I keep having to re-program the 30 sec skip!
I have tried several of the kickstart options, such as:
52 - Emergency reinstall,
58 - mfs Cleanup ,
57 - mfs check, (for 57- It did say on a "green screen" that it found errors and would take up to 3 hrs to fix. But I came back in about 15 mints and it had completed the process),
56 - Software install ( I got a "black" scueed that said "Connection to the server..." then a the next line said "Error: Bad connection". Not sure why because my connections are working, both my wireless and dial up connections tested OK.
Since my TiVo is working 100% should I worry? My only real problem is the I have to reprogram the 30-sec skip each day!
Any thoughts?
