I am receiving this error message on my TiVo. What does it mean and how do I fix it?
Q. What is Error V53?
A. Error V53 is the loss or degradation of RF signal to the TiVo Premiere.
Q. How do I resolve the V53 error?
A. This will rest entirely on how the TiVo Premiere is connected, or if the Sparklight Cable TV services includes a TiVo mini. Ask yourself, ''Do I have a TiVo mini?''. If the answer is yes, follow the steps for ''Splitter or MoCA (Actiontec) Bridge''. If the answer is no, please follow the steps under ''Direct Connection''.
-
Direct connection
- Disconnect the power from the TiVo unit, and inspect coax from the Premiere to the wall. Ensure the coax is not loose, broken, bent, or frayed. Reconnect power.
-
Splitter or MoCA (Actiontec) Bridge
- Disconnect the power from the TiVo unit, and inspect coax from the Premiere to the splitter or MoCA. Ensure the coax is not loose, broken, bent, or frayed. Reconnect power.
- Ensure the MoCA Bridge has power, and the Power, Ethernet, and Coax light is on. Reconnect power to the Premiere
