I have a DirecTivo Series 2 and in the last 2 days my wish lists stop
working. If you try to view upcoming shows staring XYZ it comes up
empty no matter which person I pick. Any one else having this issue?
Just curious.

Have you tried rebooting the unit?

Compared to a Scientific Atlanta or Motorola DVR, which is more akin to
running your home-brewed, dung-powered Operating System.

The occassional complaint on this board, while annoying for those that
experience them, are a drop in the bucket compared to the complaints I see
on the Cox-internal DVR newsgroup.

If you focus, Sean, you'll see that he wasn't asking if there were lots
of problems with the unit. He was asking what was wrong with it.

But you're nothing if not consistent when it comes to non-sequitors,
aren't you skippy?

Cool, tried that and still no wish list listings, plus now I can't
create a new wishlist as there are no actors in the list. This is a
tad odd, it's been working for almost a year just fine. No biggie.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Has your TiVo run out of Program Guide data?
Messages & Setup -> System Information -> Program Guide Data To
For instance, mine says "Program Guide Data To: Sunday, April 3".
Also check the "Last Successful" dates.

Thanks for the suggestions. After rebooting it 6 times for other
various reason, the lists came back as did the actors.

Thanks Again,
