Unfortunately Thomson, the manufacturer quit any type of support a long
long time ago.

Support from them when they were still flogging the machines was pretty
crap IME...

Having said that, given the age of my TiVo, I'm amazed that I get any
support at all. ;-)

I'm amazed there are still TiVo users here - I was begining to think I was
the only one left ;-)

Really wishing I'd paid the lifetime though....

We took on gamble on it when we bought ours (just as they were disappearing
from the shops. So glad we did now. ;-)

Talking of TiVo, mine is beginning to get sick (bubbling mud in quiet
parts
and disk whine). While I'm sure it could be repaired I'm pondering giving
up and jumping to Virgin Media V+

Ours eventually needed a new hard-drive from tivoland but other than that,
has been absolutely reliable. Probably worth a shot if your's is getting
whiney.
