The call abruptly cut off after 30 minutes, unfortunately 

After calling back again I asked if an engineer could come out and have a look, they are coming tomorrow eve so hopefully they will rectify the problem 

Hi Stracey

 

Thanks for posting and apologies for the TV issues. I can see the engineer visit was cancelled by yourself - has everything managed to fix itself?

 

Best,

Hi

i tried some things suggested by others, so I cancelled all my wish lists, went through series link recordings and cleared the majority, turned off the TiVo box and power at the wall for about 3 mins and then let it boot up again.   The problem doesn’t seem to be happening now, so whether it’s a temporary fix or permanent fix I’m not sure but for now it’s fine. 
thanks
