My Phillips DirectTivo has been working perfectly for about a month. Yesterday, it rebooted while we were watching something. Later that night it did it again. Now this morning, it will display the "Powering Up...." screen and then reboot and does not get out of this. I rearranged things last night to make sure it wasn't a heat issue but as I said, it is worse this morning. Does anyone have any ideas?

This known as the GSOD, "Green Screen of Death", lol. I know its not funny, but..... been there myself.
You can try unhooking the satellite wire(s) and then rebooting again.
If its under warranty great, get it fixed/replaced.
If its not under warranty then this is a perfect time to ungrade the old small Hard Drive to a new larger one.
Tivocommunity and dealdatabase are 2 sites that have the info you require, this is not hacking this is upgrading.
There may also be something new to fix your current problem at 1 of these sites.

Turns out the power supply wasnt putting out enough voltage. Turning the pot about 1/8 of a turn solved the problem
