Loud Humming (by 2 users)

I have a loud humming noise whenever I watch tv through my tivo. Doesn't matter whether im playing the sound through the tv or the surround sound so I figure it must be the box. Could it be the cables, or the box itself? Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

The fan on my Tivo box never turns off. Even when T.V. is off, it stays on. Is that bad? Does it need replaced, or can it be repaired?

It's possible a fan or a hard drive is going bad. When the bearings in those devices start to go out they a start making noises like that.
