Hi all,
I have a TivoHD, and I've been using it with the free version of Tivo Desktop software for several weeks with no problems. A couple days ago it decided to stop connecting to my DVR. It does recognize my DVR is there, but when I click on "Pick programs to transfer", it never gets to my programs list. The Tivo and my desktop pc are both wired to my network via ethernet. No changes have been made to my network or the settings on the Tivo. The Tivo is connecting to Tivo service to get program updates, etc. It says the last successful connection was this morning. I have tried disconnecting the ethernet cable, reinstalling the software, and installing the software on a different computer (see below), and I've also made sure that sharing is enabled on the Tivo.
My desktop is running Windows XP, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Tivo software, just to be sure it wasn't a software problem. On the desktop, I get the following error message:
"There was an error while attempting to retrieve data from the selected DVR.
The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request."
I have also installed Tivo Desktop on my laptop which connects to the network wirelessly. My laptop is running Windows Vista. The error on the laptop is:
"There was an error while attempting to retrieve data from the selected DVR.
The network connection was aborted by the local system."
I Googled the error messages, and I didn't get any matches that were more recent than 2008, so I came here. Any ideas?!?
