TiVo rage

by Brad Linder, posted Mar 3rd 2007 9:00AM
Ever wonder what a TiVo looks like on the inside? Sure, there's plenty of manuals floating around the internet showing you how to void your warranty, remove the lid, and update the hard drive. But none of them involve smashing your machine to bits with a crowbar.



After running into a few technical problems with his TiVo, YouTube users Kevin decided to take matters into his own hands rather than order a replacement unit. And he gets a tiny TiVo sticker from the front of the unit as a souvenir.

My favorite two lines from the video:
  • "I don't know what any of that does."
  • "I feel a lot better. And now it probably works about as well as it did yesterday."

Humm looks like what happened to my series one a few years ago. Tivo did some software thing called a jumpstart or something (took like 8 hours of my phone line downloading info) but it fixed it and it still works to this day (7 years and counting) Good thing i bought the lifetime service.

What a moron. From the looks of the symptoms it was just a hard drive going bad. Replace the HD and it would have probably worked fine.
I just replaced a 5+ year old HD in one of my ReplayTV's with similar symptoms. Now the 7+ year old machine is as good as new.
WHAT A MORON!!! I can't wait to see the video when his car runs out of windshield washer fluid!
