Hi @Jonhine 

Do you have any problems when playing back recordings?

Does the picture display normally if you pause the box for a few minutes and then press play?

Is this a TiVo or a V6? You've referenced both.

Check on this page if you're not sure. It mainly matters if you choose to wait on here for a staff response rather than calling into report this.

Checking recorded content is a good test of whether the disk is on its last legs, although "noises" are never a good thing..

Hi Jonhine, 

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

Sorry to hear of the noisy box - I have done a system check and can see we did book a tech but it got cancelled, all sorted now? 

Let me know if you need further help.

Best,
