Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Probably. I got the replacement unit yesterday and it's working fine

I rave about that piece of shit and my other piece of shit, the Piss3. I have lots of other pieces of shit I rave about, actually. My entire system is probably shit, don't you think.

Based on the degeneration I observed, it seemed to me the problem was software/firmware related--possibly a virus that parsed the disc drive into progressively smaller sectors until the hard drive was practically useless. A product manager at my company said the problem could have been memory-related. So who knows. I got my replacement Tivo and all is well, for now.

I originally wanted to use a motorola HDTV receiver that my buddy gave me. It died after one day, which was just as well because the software interface was trash and the customer service was nonexistent. Tivo, in comparison, is much better. But it was a very frustrating ordeal going through this problem.
