Can you try one of the other outputs - composite or S-Video? It is possible that the RF modulator died, so the TiVo can't output on RF anymore. It is possible for one output on a TiVo to work and others to fail. > Any suggestions as to what I might try next? If all of the outputs are dead and the drive is spinning up, it could be a main board failure. In that case there isn't much to do. You could try another drive, but I wouldn't spend much just in case the board is dead. If another output works, then you can use an external RF modulator. -MZ -- megazone-at-megazone.org http://www.MegaZone.org/ Gweep, Geek, Human, me. http://www.GizmoLovers.com/ http://www.Eyrie-Productions.com/ -><- Hail Eris "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men" 508-852-2171
