Invalid Password??

hey,

i experienced this 2 days ago, just ignore it. The next Net-connect will fix it.

I had the same problem the other night. I forced a connection the next day and it worked. So far, I haven't had any trouble connecting since. It seems that the "invalid password" problem happened to a lot of people at around the same time. It was probably a problem on Replay's end.

I did do a 243 zones and selected net-connect, This may have something to do with why it worked , i dont know?



This is the method I was using to manually connect since I missed the download last night. I never entered a password, so how could one be incorrect??


Thanks for your thoughts.

This is an erroneous diagnosis when the connect has failed for some other reason.


Try the 243-Zones Net Connect. If it continues to fail, try another local number if you have more than one.

I just Love my replayTv http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif

I've gone bats over it.

I find that my ReplayTV fails its network connect on the average 50% of the time. That is, roughly half the days I've gone to check my messages, I get a new one saying that the previous night's update failed. Last night's was due to bad password, but that's just one in a long string of failures.


243-Zones, manual update has absolutely always worked on the first try, which just makes me think that whatever ISP it's trying to dial into at 2 in the morning (or whenever) just happens to be flakey at 2 in the morning (or whenever).


Thank god the Replay's update takes about 5 minutes, rather than TiVo's hour.



FWIW toots...243 Zones is the method I was using to net connect when I received an extensive number of disconnects because of an "incorrect password."

Faster updates on Tivo would be nice but if being unable to record while updating, having 5 days less schedule data and especially this is what it costs I'll pass. Replay cut too many corners to make those updates so quick IMO.

Same here! Can someone from ReplayTV please explain this? I'm not worried, just curious.

Dr. Strange,


ReplayTV never interrupts a recording for the nightly phone call; there is no loss due to this. It just waits until it isn't recording something. Of course, if your machine is recording 24 hours per day, then there's a problem. I would suggest that the problem isn't with the machine.


And, TiVo's 5 extra days of program guide always seems to work out to be about one extra day of program guide in real life, and since TiVo has done so much work to make it so frigging difficult to browse the guide, it's almost hard to tell.


My ex- was on the phone last night raving about some actress who I never heard of. While he was talking, I was able to pull up some examples of her work on the Replay by "search for actor." Try that with your five-extra-days-that-are-really-one.

Perhaps the error message should be changed to something like Unable to verify password rather than Invalid password. This would reduce the amount of confusion.

I'd like to see that ReplayCEO gets an email everytime a bad connection occurs. This way it can be logged where the crappy servers are located. Besides, the more email the CEO gets the faster everything happens.


Cheers
