Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Jessica, I just burned two widescreen BSG episodes to a DVD and had no issues. I had created a disk image weeks ago using iDVD and burned it using disk utility. (I have a different Philips model, however, so it could be a player setting.)
ETA: Though you seem to have already solved your problem.
If the machine is still somewhat bootable bring it over. You can back the music up to one of my servers, and then reformat and copy the music back.
Unfortunately, the sector(s) with the music on it appears to be one of the corrupt ones. Ever since the repair, I've been unable to access the folders with my previous documents and desktop data, which includes the old My Music folder, where the music resided. The folder properties that pop up on mouseover say that the folders are empty, but trying to open them gets an access denied error.
I fear the music is already gone.
Jon, this is why I ended up consolidating my library. It was easier to let iTunes search my hard drive and copy everything to the iTunes folder rather than manually remind it where every MP3 was.
My library is already consolidated. iTunes has arbitrarily decided that it doesn't know where some of the songs in the consolidated library are.
Sometimes a bad power supply can make disks appear to have bad blocks.

Hmm... I suppose it's possible, but this power supply was bought new in response to the old one crapping out.
Can other people do lookups on tivo.com/tco properly? It doesn't seem to know any of my stations -- it's insisting that I watch Lost on 245, or something. This is after a handful of errors this morning.
The online Tivo listings are working fine for me. Did you check the actual unit to make sure it still has the correct channel lineup info? I'd be more worried about that than the online listings (unless of course, you're trying to schedule something).

I haven't had a chance. The reason I'm doing online scheduling (:P Jessica) is because I'm not near the unit. The idea that my lineup has kerfritzed is making me nervous.
As if one needs a reason. I mean, really.
When my upstairs neighbors' network was confusing my Tivo as to how it was supposed to connect, I wasn't able to do online scheduling either, but it sounds like your error messages are different than mine (I was shut out of the system entirely). Will it let you schedule by time/channel?
