Kristylovesbb, well that doesn't sound normal for a Tivo. Have you checked out the support pages at Tivo's website?

http://www.tivo.com

Another place to post this type of problem is to visit the best Tivo forum on the 'net, Tivo Community.

http://www.tivocommunity.com

You may find people who've encountered the same issue and how they resolved it.

I wish I knew what was up, but hopefully the above links will help you.

Juju, not to worry. I don't want a folder full of chit chat. LOL

And Dra, as always, thanks for teaching me something new! You never let us down!

Ok I finally found out what the problem was. It was a software glitch. I went to the tivo site and read the tech forum and discovered many were having this problem. I e-mailed Tivo, sent them my numbers and they sent me a patch. Problem solved.

Yes it is Wendo, we thought it was the hard drive and we were going to have to replace it. Thanks again for your help.

Is there a way to email an mp3? Sure would be easier than sending my cousin a snail mail disc.

Dra says you can send it as an attachment, but it would probably be better to zip it up.

Dumb question on scanning pictures...

I can scan and save the image, but when I look at the pic, they are too dark, right now I have paint... can you lighten the background? Also, dumb (probably ignorant is a better word!!) I have lack of knowledge in scanning, one pic scanned perfect, so I did 2 more... one scanned with a white background - like the pic was on a piece of paper, (why?) so the image is too big..

I will try and see if myimager can walk me thru some of this!!

PS... my attempt at trying to resize it to conform to the 600 by 600 chopped off dh's head, the bottom when of been a better place, but it was automatic by paint...

to see what I mean, look in my folder here at the clubhouse!

Currently we have Cable TV. Our TV in one room is acting weird. The cable is out on some channels. We are fine on ch. 2 thru 6, out 7-14, etc... The other TVs in the house are fine. What's up with this??? How can we fix? HELP!

Julie, Dra says it sounds like a bad connection. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your cable on that tv, make sure the connection is good and tight.

I asked this over in the DQ thread, but Julie had the good idea I should ask it here too....

I want to print a sample ballot for Mom to read over and mark up, so she has a cheat sheet with her come election time. Her eyes don't focus too well, and I figured if she had her cheat sheet with her, it would take the pressure off of her at the voting booth (like feeling like people were impatiently waiting for her to hurry up).

Anyway, the sample ballot for our area is in pdf format (I hate browsing pdf files on the Net). I printed it, and the print came out so tiny a microscope wouldn't enlarge it!

How can I enlarge it so its readable when I print it? I thought maybe I could copy/paste to Word, but it only copies over the text, and I'd really like to keep the ballot format intact, so it looks just like the ballot she'll be using (with boxes to X off and all).

Here's the sample ballot for our area: Sample Ballot

Who, I just tried to print it, and it came out full size for me. Maybe try this and see if it works -- when you hit the "Print" icon in Adobe Reader, change the "Page Scaling" to "Fit to Paper." I dunno if that will help, but it has when I've had this problem in the past.

I tried the "Fit to Paper." The print still comes out very small. Mom can see it with a magnifying glass, but it disorients her to try and read it.

I have a few ideas to convert it to Word. I guess that's my only option. Thanks for the suggestions anyway!

Who, According to Dra - the document was set to print on 11 x 17 paper. I'm assuming you could find it at an office supply store. Then you could fit to paper and it should be ok. That is if your printer will take that sized paper.

Thank you JMM (and Dra). I just went ahead and copied it over to Word and enlarged it. I don't think my printer will take that sized paper anyway.

Thanks again for checking!

I believe this topic has been addressed but I have been unable to find just where I can find past discussions. If you can at least point me to the right direction or add any input I’d very much appreciate it.

In 2½ weeks I’m moving from an apartment with cable to a house with a satellite dish. I have been thinking about getting a satellite dish for a while but my imminent move is the catalyst that will actually get me to do it. My question is this: what are the pros and cons to having DVR with a satellite dish? What should I look for? I will have two tv’s and would like to be able to watch a different show in a different room, if I want to (b/c of sports-loving-boyfriend). Do I need one receiver plus a dvr/receiver? Is it better to get the TiVo package with DirectTV or more GB with Dish Network?

I have a lot of questions, but any info would be great!! Thanks in advance!
