Came back from hols and Tivo which had been working fine up to the day we left hadn't recorded any correct programme. It wouldn't change channels any more.
Currently have live TV selected and got the colour bars with NO SIGNAL.
The remote switches the Manhattan off and on but pressing guide or menu doesn't bring anything up.

What can I try?

Disconnect everything from the mains for a few minutes. Sometimes electronics that has crashed holds a charge somewhere it shouldn't that stops it resetting properly and unplugging for a while can let this dissipate.

Unfortunatley that hasn't worked. Anything else I can try?

On the Manhatton I have a HDMI to Scart cable connected where should the Scart end go?

Not sure what else to suggest. If you can connect the scart to your TV I'd do that next, and try to get the manhattan box working on its own before bringing TiVo into the equation. Do you have anything else with a DTV decoder that you can use to check the aerial feed is OK? It doesn't sound good if the menu button doesn't do anything, but perhaps that box doesn't work if it has no signal when it powers on; one of my TiVos is quite finicky like that. Is there a setup button as well as a menu button?

I('ll mtry the Manhatton to the TV. No nothing else to try with.

Have had satellite signal tested and can get sat tv now bypassing the Tivo.

Can anyone supply a rough and ready diagram of how to connect up the Tivo to a TV and Manhattan sat box?

1) Satellite in to Manhattan.
2) "TV Scart" out from Manhattan -- in to TiVo "Aux Scart"
3) "TV Scart" out from TiVo -- in to TV scart input.

See Appendix A Example 5 in the TiVo manual.

Sorted now2 thanks. Of the aerial pair coming in from the dish one didn't work, then when I tested without tivo in the loop it turned out that HDMI cable was faulty too. Any way a very helpful earial guy sorted me thanks.
