360 box not playing recordings

I have two Tivo boxes converted to 360. The second box is used by my elderly mum. Every day now for the past four or five days when she starts to go and watch something she has recorded, it will not ...

    A drawback of the 360 is the difficulty in playing recordings if there is a poor or missing broadband connection. I suggest a connection of your mum's box to the router with an Ethernet cable.

The issue with that is that she is in an annexe attached to our house, The router is in our house and not strong enough to give a good signal to hers, hence the mesh system which a virgin engineer suggested on a visit previously. I would have to run a very long cable to reach the router.

    You could bring that box into the house and swap it with the other one just to test it.

      Good idea. Recordings that my mum has set on her box are all currently falling.

        I would swap and test the box before buying ethernet cable you might not need if everything was working until recently.

        Does the box play the apps ok which is another test for the network connection.
