Series1 “Failed While Loading Series” Problem: Fixed!

Back in February, a problem surfaced where many Series1 TiVos began having problems acquiring guide data. These units would hang at 12% with a message saying “failed while loading series.” As you can see from the comments in that post, people were not happy.

As the months went by without a fix, we started to investigate more carefully, and we found a way around the problem: a replacement hard drive.

We found that the problem wasn’t affecting all units, so once we found units that didn’t have the problem, we cloned the software to the units that did have the problem, and we found that it went away. The units started completing setup and acquiring guide data.

If you’d like to order a replacement drive that doesn’t have this problem, see our TiVo Upgrade page.

If you’d like us to reformat your drive with this software, see this page.

New Shipping Rates to Alaska and Hawaii

Announcing cheaper shipping options to Alaska and Hawaii, via USPS Priority Mail!

While we wish we could afford to extend our free shipping promotion to customers in Alaska and Hawaii, we just don’t have that much profit in sales to be able to pull that off (maybe that’s a good thing?).

But we are now shipping larger boxes to these two wonderful states via USPS, so that method can bring the costs down plenty. Further, we are adding in a subsidy to lower these rates even further by about as much as we spend on our free ground shipping promotion in the continental states, so AK and HI residents will get the benefit of that discount.

It’s all live in our shopping cart – add in your items and address and you’ll get a rate calculated live.

TiVo DVRs for OTA (Over The Air) Recording – Perfect for Cord-Cutters!

If you like the idea of reducing your monthly costs, but still getting TV from the major broadcast networks, and still being able to record it, we’ve got some great solutions.

We’ve started carrying the Mohu Leaf antenna. This is a very easy to install, indoor HDTV OTA unit. It’s shaped basically like a piece of paper, and it’s white on one side and black on the other to blend in with most rooms.

Pair that with a TiVo DVR that receives OTA and has lifetime service, and you’ve got a great HD DVR that can record broadcast networks including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, and tons more – with no monthly fees!
