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.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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?

In Opera 8, it's not showing me any stations under 100 (and the ones over 100 are WRONG). In Opera 7 and IE, it's not showing me any stations at all in that dropdown, but it shows me channel 7 on the show page and barfs "Sorry, but we encountered an error while processing your request. Please try again later." at me when I try and get a season pass, or record the ep.
::sigh::
I'm going to leave this alone till I get home, and, well, torrent anything it refused to record.
So there.

ita,
tivo's online scheduling goes kersplat for me somewhere in the neighborhood of once every 2 weeks or once a week. I have found it unreliable enough that I always doublecheck it. There is no rhyme or reason why it is unreliable as near as I can tell.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need to export my itunes song list in a readable format, but I don't have excel on my home computer, and all three of the options for exporting it that itunes gives me (plain text, unicode text, and .xml) don't work. Any ideas?

When you say don't work, what happens? Or doesn't, precisely?

It saves it, but the file is not in an easily readable or reformattable format.
