My TiVo's crashed a couple times in the last few days. I had originally thought nothing of it, but now it happened while I was watching, and it made some rather nasty clicking noises, then locked up. I'm thinking the A drive is failing-no real way to be sure, but it is older. Anyway, I just opened the box, and looked at the power supply, which has pale peach goo on bits and pieces of it. I figure it's just glue, but has anyone looked at their TiVo power supply and seen such stuff?
Also, has anyone successfully recovered programs from a dying drive on a TiVo?
Yeah, yeah, I'm an IT expert (theoretically), but it doesn't hurt to whine about my problems!
