My Series 2 Tivo is dieing, or at least I think it is.  I am actually not sure if the problem is with the Tivo box or with the Comcast cable box.   I not seeing any pictures on certain channels, I can still hear the audio but no pictures, at first it was just one or two channels but now its getting worse. If I reset the Tivo the pictures come back for awhile, but then go away again, which is the reason I think its Tivo.  The other wierd thing thats happening is now if I hit a channel where there is no picture, instead of staying there, the system starts moving up and down the channels untill it finds one that is coming in.   It hadn't done that before, just started happening a week ago.  I could get a new series 2 tivo pretty cheap, the problem with that is that I am thinking about upgrading to an HDTV, which would make the series 2 Tivo useless.  I was hoping to have this tivo last untill I got the new TV, but it looks like that not going to happen.  I am going to test the Tivo, without the cable box and just attach to basic cable to see if the problem persist, so I can elimininate the cable box as the source.  I will need to find a way to transfer the video from this tivo to my other one easily. I don't think I can stand being without Tivo and neither can my husband.
