ReplayTV can no longer be used until you activate your ser..

This sounds like some malfunction of the ReplayTV mothership. You'll likely
need tech support for this. If somehow you can get it to do a forced network
update, it may cure itself.

Though you may not want to lose all your shows, a factory reset, which would
force a network update, might also cure it.

Bye.

Use 2-4-3 Zones to force a connect and it may fix itself with the
update. Otherwise, why wait till Monday? Call now.

Says "There was a problem transferring information from the ReplayTV
service." when I try to force a connection.

From replaytv website "Effective April 5, 2004, we will be changing the
Customer Service and Technical Support hours of operation for ReplayTV to be
more in line with the rest of the industry. These hours will change to 8:00
am - 6:00 pm Pacific Time, Monday - Friday, excluding holidays. The new
hours are in line with when 85% of our customer contacts take place and
provide an opportunity for improved resource scheduling in the contact
centers. "

Are you using a router with the Road Runner connection? Is the RTV
getting an IP address? Check the network settings on the RTV and reboot
it.

I know this is a very old post, but the exact same thing happened to me tonight and the customer service center is closed all weekend. Can anyone help me? What happened after you called customer serice?
