Not sure where to post this, thought this might be the best place
Tivo setup:
Tivo 1 - Tivo HD, Monthly service (ancient, over 10 years old)
Tivo 2 - Tivo HD, Monthly service (ancient, over 10 years old)
Tivo 3 - Tivo HD XL, eBay Tivo with Lifetime service (newer but still old)
Yes I am the idiot that paid monthly for all these years. I found a broken Tivo HD XL with lifetime service on eBay for $40 (Tivo 3), I bought it, it was a bad power supply, I re-capped it, good as new. So the plan was to cancel Tivo 1 and use Tivo 3 in it's stead. So I backed up everything I want off Tivo 1 onto Tivo 2 using the transfer functionality from the Now Playing Menu. Goes fine. I then get Tivo 3 setup up and working, works great. I then cancel the service for Tivo 1 and stick it in the closet for spare parts
So now I have Tivo 2 and Tivo 3 up and running. I want to get the programs I backed up from Tivo 1, that are sitting on Tivo 2, onto Tivo 3. And I am having problems. Here are the issues:
- If I try to transfer directly from the Now Playing list of Tivo 3, I can see Tivo 2, if I go into that I see the list of programs on Tivo 2, but when I try and transfer anything, it doesn't start and eventually errors out saying there is a network problem
- I installed Tivo Desktop on a PC, with that it sees the Tivo 2, but when I go to get a list programs, it counts the first show (it says 1/46) then I get a network connection error and nothing. If I select Tivo 3, it works with that Tivo just fine
- I installed kmttg, it sees the HD, when I try and pull a list it eventually errors out with
- If I go to the https:// of the IP address of Tivo 2, sometimes it does prompt me for the login, I enter tivo and the MAK, but then it just sits there and does nothing. Sometimes I get a Server busy/Out of memory message, and at that point the Tivo becomes unresponsive and needs to be rebooted. Going to the https:// screen of Tivo 3 works fine.
- I installed pyTivo, it sees both Tivo's, it works with Tivo 3 fine, for Tivo 2, it just hangs forever trying to populate the Now playing list
- I set a static IP and DNS (using googles DNS servers), didnt make a difference
I have rebooted Tivo 2 and the PC's multiple times. Something seems wrong with the network stack of Tivo 2. It does everything else just fine, Live TV, playback, recording all work as expected. But I cannot get programs off this thing. I was able to transfer programs to it no problem, but I cannot get them off.
Any ideas? Could it be possibly hardware related?
