srey Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Hey all, I'm really hoping someone here can help me out. Visiting the inlaws at the moment and it seems the HDD in their much loved TiVo is dieing. I've got another one here to replace it, but I can't for the life of me find an appropriate version of mfslive to backup and restore with. Apparently, the right version for Australia was "9.3g". I've found 9.3f, but I'm still getting boot loop issues and would like to try the right version to rule that out. If anyone has a copy of 9.3g kicking around and could help out it would be much appreciated! Sent from my HTC 2PS6200 using Tapatalk
figjam Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Head over to the Whirlpool forums and contact a member there called Darren. He should be able to help you out.
srey Posted December 31, 2016 Author Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks mate, just pinged him so hopefully he can help out!There's not really a lot of options when you're trying to find a simple TiVo replacement right now!Sent from my HTC 2PS6200 using Tapatalk
figjam Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 It may pay you to read the latest posts in the Tivo thread over there too. It appears the Tivo service is dieing a slow death and Tivos may not be around too much longer.
srey Posted January 1, 2017 Author Posted January 1, 2017 Yep, I've read that too, certainly doesn't sound too promising.Darren has been a great though and hopefully with his help we can get the box going for a bit longer, until the service is dead.Fingers crossed by that time theres a reasonable alternative that I can suggest for the in-laws.Sent from my HTC 2PS6200 using Tapatalk

Very nice machine. 7 day EPG works very well. Has ad skip and integrates Netflix, Stan, TV online channels etc. properly. You can buy them stand alone at Harvey Norman etc. for around $400 or get with an Optus plan (I believe several other ISPs are now also offering FetchTV packages) Regards Peter Gillespie
srey Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 Yep, fetch mighty is at the top of the list as a replacement, but I was a bit worried by some reports of unreliable recording and random freezes; ease of use and reliability is the big priority. The telly already runs Netflix nicely, and does a reasonable job of media playback from a HDD too.Have you guys had many issues with yours?Sent from my HTC 2PS6200 using Tapatalk

It is all running reasonably smoothly. The biggest issue remaining is the loss of the wifi password after power cycling.
