You are welcome to contact me at any time to place an order for spare parts or for enquiring on sending your TiVo to me for hardware modifications or repairs. It is probably best to email me for this as it will establish an easier method for communicating bank details and shipping addresses.
You are also welcome to contact me with any hardware questions or for hardware assistance (that is, all the physical electronic bits that make up a TiVo). Being an electronics technician by trade I have not spent a lot of time with the finer points of the TiVo software.
If you fit the category of someone who has just received their UK or USA Series 1 TiVo and need help with simply loading the OzTiVo software or working out how to connect it up and do the Guided Setup then I am not the person you should be asking. For that and other software related matters please direct them to the OzTiVo website or OzTiVo forums (links on the left sidebar) where there are other people in the TiVo community who can help
If however your problem is because your TiVo (Either a Series 1 or a TiVoHD) has suddenly stopped working or does not seem to be functioning like it should and you are seeking some advice then by all means contact me. I'm happy to provide first point of contact correspondence so long as you are aware that if your problem turns out not to be hardware related then I will direct you to a more appropriate website or person who may be able to assist.
My email address for contacting me is:
Apologies for the weird way of displaying my email address as it is to combat spam.
Oh, and by the way: While it is flattering calling me "Doctor" I'm not really... It's Just a "stage name" because the email address "darrenking" was already taken in gmail and I wanted to keep it rather simple for people to remember.
Similarly, calling me "Mr King" is polite... But my father is "Mr King". Therefore feel free to just call me "Darren". I'm not a formal person so you need not be either!
