Hey all Tivo enthusiasts...
We had a gnarly storm a few days ago and our power went out a couple of times. I have my Tivo (and other equipment) plugged into an APC Back-UPS...but our power was out for 8 hours the other night, so the APC ran out of juice (only lasts about 30 mins on battery backup). Well, since the power outages, I've noticed that my tivo (I think only on one tuner) with freeze and do ghosting for a few seconds then fast forward to "real time". When it fast forwards, the audio is also playing at fast speed. There is no pattern to when this happens...could be every few minutes...could be 20 mins...could a few times in 1 minute.
I've reset my Tivo a few times, but it still does it...has anyone seen this before?
I'm just looking for some suggestions before I attempt to do a "total" re-initialization of both harddrives and re-image of Xtreme.
Also, after the freezing and speed up happens, when I rewind and watch to see if it was recorded or not, sometimes it is and other times it isn't...in other words, i still see the freezes when I am watching a delayed feed (a few minutes behind live tv) and when I rewind the delayed feed it works fine most of the time. So it's like a "random" glitch when the Tivo is processing the video stream...could this be a harddrive problem?
TIA,
BBQ
