There are a few different causes for the TiVo Error Code 502, most of which are related to the network connection. One common reason is that the network is down or there is an issue with the TiVo's IP address. Another possibility is that the router is not configured correctly or is not compatible with the TiVo. Additionally, this error can occur if the firewall is blocking the TiVo's connection. Finally, it could be that the TiVo is not properly authorized to access the network.

If you see the TiVo Error Code 502, it is generally recommended to restart the TiVo and try again. If that does not work, you can try manually setting the IP address. If the issue persists, you may need to contact your ISP or router manufacturer for assistance.
