34 SPs isn't the issue. Any irregular sounds form the hard drive?

The drive is going out, probably. I have 80 season passes.

For a TiVo hard drive, you use MFS Tools to create a backup image that
contains the TiVo OS and (optionally) any recordings. You then restore
this image to another drive.

Thanks for the tip. Works like a charm. One question, though: Is there any
way to disable the white lights on the back of the unit that only turn on
when the shift lever is pulled back?

Don't bother. Just make a list of your season passes and wishlists and
replace it. Directv will send you one, but you'll get more capacity if
you just get a new one from best buy... 99 bucks.

Depends on how many episodes each pass represents and the sum total of
items the TiVo is tracking rather than just the Season Pass total?

i.e. One CSI list said 54 upcoming episodes.

P.S. With it now at 22 Season Passes, its working fine.
