Regular cleaning of TiVo?

Postby The maverick » Thu Jan 30, 2014 11:03 am

This is my original TiVo used for 8 years up to last Dec. It was working 100% when last used,

I opened it up for the first time when it looked as though tivo3 had died, but wasn't need in the end. Maybe its a good idea to open them up and clean them once every year or two?

Wow! That's pretty filthy! :mrgreen:

I tend to blow the dust out of mine whenever I open it, which tends to be ever couple of years at least I'd say for various bits and pieces. Eight years' dust is very impressive though.
