Arrrgh! Bl**dy digiboxes!

I'm sick to the back teeth of my digibox crashing.

I think we're on our third one now that we use with a TiVo and everyone of
them has crashed with varying degrees of frequency.

I did wonder if it was anything to do with temperature but a Sony HD PVR
(with built in digital turner) in the same space under the telly doesn't
have any problem (it's never crashed).  We've tried leaving the doors off
the under-telly compartment but it's made no difference (it's really not
that warm in there anyway).

If it wasn't for the fact that the Sony is in every other regard, a million
percent inferior to the TiVo, I'd just use the Sony but we like (nay, love)
our TiVo and want to keep it as long as possible but I've long since lost
count of the recordings that have failed due to the boxes crashing.

Have I just been unlucky or is there an issue with the TiVo control of
extenal devices, possibly sending out IR signals that cause the boxes to
crash?   Are there any "bullet proof" boxes around that never (or at least
very very rarely) crash and are compatible with the TiVo?

Lastly, as an aside, why won't my Humax digibox pick up 5life?  We've
rescanned & rebooted but it won't pick up anything.  Picks up 5US fine and
our Sony picks op 5life.  (Not that I'm desperate to have it but it's just
odd that it won't pick up one channel).

Tim
