Yesterday my tivo all of a sudden lost signal to just tvnz channel 2, yet all other channels including tvnz channel 7 aka 2+ are fine.

i have tried a reboot, channel rescan, deleted all channels and rescan, yet all channels get found again including channel 2, but I still have no signal message just on that channel.

 

and problem is on both tuners.

 

i can still see the picture via tv directly instead so its not a quality issue.

 

on tivo itself on the channel, signal strength is excellent.

 

have never had any signal problems in the past at all.

This sounds quite  illogical to me based on your message above. Especially seems unlikely to have both tuners fail on TV2 only.

 

Can you try the following. Goto the Channels settings menu/ Channel List/ and check that TV1 and TV2 share the same frequency (as they usually share the same transponder). The frequency shown will depend on your location in the country (for example the Pinehill/Auckland transponder uses 530.000MHz for TV1 and 2). Do you see 2x listings for TV2? If so, tick the alternative one instead of the one ticked currently and see if that resolves it. I can't quite understand how you can have excellent signal on TV2 but no picture unless your Tivo is connected the wrong transponder.

Yeah, I know it just doesn’t make sense.

 

Yep the frequency is correct for the tvnz channels which is 578 mhz.  And yes the epg guide is still up to date.

 

there is only the one listing in the channel list.

Self healing technology in 2009. Maybe Tivo was ahead of it's time? Good to hear.
