Wow, I guess you know it's time to upgrade when the forums get so quiet. Sadly, with all the "digital" changes and the such I don't know which way to jump. I've been playing with MythTV. I'd really like a central video server. Then the choice of Comcast (local cable, probably going all digital) or DirecTV would be less important. Oh well, I digress. Someday I do need to find the proper forum to discuss such things.
I have a fairly old SAT T60 which is running well. It has two hard drives. It's running 3.5c-01-1-011. I used to do the kernel patch for descramble but now use the "other" method, and sadly can't remember the details. It's been that reliable and running that well. I don't really have many changes on the machine. Just the descramble option and then TyServer/TyTools to archive or store some shows.
Recently, in the past couple of weeks, it seemed like every time I pushed the Tivo button I'd get the little startup cartoon. The unit is working fine other than that. However, when I go into the system status it says it's in the middle of an update and nothing can be touched. Hey, maybe this is a good thing and it's preventing 3.5d. :-)
Should I be worried about this? Any thoughts on how to fix it? Should I fix it? If not, is there anything I can do to stop the ?nightly? reboot or reset, whatever is setting off the intro screens?
TIA,
