Canadian Skater’s Disastrous Fall Is Most Replayed Moment from Torino, Besting Gold Medal Performances By Ohno, Mancuso

In a thread at TiVoCommunity.com I spotted a little Windows program that you can configure to connect to your TiVo and estimate the remaining available space. You can download it here. Not quite a FSI on the TiVo itself, but some folks find it useful.

Recently there were some posts about TiVo truncating recordings – stopping too early. Speculation at the time was that it might be related to the Overlap Protection, aka Clipping, added in recent software. Over on TiVoCommunity.com TiVoPony clarified the issue and provided some details. It is not related to clipping, it is a separate bug that has been found and fixed. It will be part of the coming 7.2.2 update. In the meantime, a reboot fixes the problem – it only happens in units that have been running without a reboot for some time. So if you experience any truncation, or just want to be proactive to prevent it, reboot the box. That should tide it over until 7.2.2 is out.
