My Tivo keeps rebooting. Seems like it started about when the last tivo upgrade. My upgrade is a hard drive I purchased from you in July of 04. I tried replacing my hard drive cable and it did not work. Heres a copy/paste from tverr log. Any ideas?:

The log file information is meaningless, in terms of a diagnosis; other that the fact that it is verifying that your unit is rebooting itself. The symptom you've described is typically that of a defective hard drive. You'd need to run drive diagnostics on the drive to make that determination, however.
