The tip I received indicating that my TiVo’s hard drive might be dying could just have been my problem. We’ve gone 2 days on the new drive and it seems a bit faster and programs recorded after I replaced the drive haven’t skipped! We watched Saved without interruptions today whereas the last few episodes, it got blocky and almost unwatchable a few times. I offer my apology to TiVo for saying that they needed to fix their update. Too bad there isn’t a way to tell an end user without knowledge that the device is failing.
