Well, the drives don't spin up when the cable is connected to the mobo, so I don't think it's those. They do spin up when not connected to the mobo, so I'm afraid that it is the mobo, in which case I'm out of luck--it's back to TiVo. However, I ordered a power supply on the off chance that I'll get lucky--the site I got it from seems to think that this problem with this particular type of unit is usually a motherboard. We shall see... in the meantime, I'm going to have to look at TV Guide or something--haven't a clue when all of my shows are on!
