After the green screen of death starts appearing on the screen, there has been some useful strategies to cope with the green screen of death.

In terms of time, the usual time for a green screen of death to end is approximately three hours. If the screen is on for more than three hours, you will have to unplug both the power and Ethernet cord. Later on, you plug them back in and you have to wait for five minutes. If these solutions don’t do the trick, call TiVo support with 1-877-367-8486.<ref>{{cite web|title=Solutions for the GSOD|url=https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080717095031AAXRhWD|accessdate=March 11, 2010}}</ref> |
