I wanted to wait a few days before reporting to make sure working properly.
Thanks to all who shared, Glenn, Jay and MZ. I disconnected the WD external drive. I lost most of my recording, but not all. I just disconnected the drive; I did not restore the system. I maintained all of my season pass settings Thus far it has recorded everthing completely; no freezes. Neither have I seen any period of slowness changing screen or accepting commands. Looks like MZ was right; it almost always the hard drive. I took the other advice and installed a fan in my entertainment center as a preventative measure. In our post exchanges, several mentioned clearing the caches in Tivo Desktop. I never found this in the program. Is this something done in the directories. Any help is appreciated Thanks again. I learned a lot and have learned from the other threads posted. Talk to you later Sid
