For about a week it’s been humming. The sound is not unlike a vcr rewinding, or a loud CD drive.
Does this mean a) my warranty is good for 90 days and b) it’s been over 90 days?

I second that. If you've got a hummer, you may want to let it spin down, cool off, then restart. And as a bonus, you'll get to see the TiVo cartoon again!

Destroy it.
Completely.
It is possessed by pure unadultured evil. If you fail, all of mankind is doomed.
I certainly wouldn't want THAT resting on my shoulders.

Well, I’ve always given it my love, since it’s more dependable and forgets less than – umm, no I better not.
Unplugged, as suggested. Poured it a but I got a . I guess it wants a different brand or sumpin.
Plugged it in and it hummed just as loudly for a minute or so, then settled down to nice and quite.
No cartoon, though. Maybe that was an earlier software version?
Thanks for the help.

Last thing, which unit do you have? Mine is a Sony SAT-T60 DirecTiVo unit.
