Rio, I'd check the technical boards over at www.tivocommunity.com first, but sounds to me like buying a replacement 'peanut' may be your best bet. It makes sense to me that the remote would be the first thing to fail, as it probably gets the most use of any 'moving part' of the TiVo aside from the hard disk.

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!

help! the security updates for SP2 have screwed up my IE browser.
what the issue seems to be: i had no trouble so far with the installation of the basic SP2. then last night i installed some "necessary" security updates. all 6 of them. today when i tried to go online, i kept getting a syntax error code. the address box had "http:///" in it and the computer kept trying to connect to the addy, but it could not. (well duh!) i was not even able to retype the correct addy or get it to STOP trying to connect.
so i did a system restore. and now it is fixed, but i am worried that the security updates need to be reinstalled or at least selectively installed.
any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
No Trash-80 either. They're just anti-RadioShack.

Yeah, the Tandy CoCo should be in there as well!

Ah, the joys of going to a mall, walking to Radio Shack, finding a Tandy CoCo and typing:
10 i=i+1
20 print i
30 goto 10
run
and walking away.
OK, I forget - do you need to dimension i in that code?
eta: you could add a semicolon at the end of line 20 if you want it to scroll neatly, one number to a line.

I used to do that to Apple II's, only I'd add a CNTRL-G in there so that it would beep with each line.
Yes. Even then I was evil.

I would also program C-64s to just sit there unti someone pressed a key, then the screen would start flashing rapidly different colors and a weird siren sound would eminate....
