Hi All,
I'm a new Tivo user in Akl. I got my Tivo this morning after following all the info on the OZtivo website, then I finally found the NZtivo website AFTER I had done all the setup.
I have been going through the HOWTO, and I have successfully removed all the OZ channels and added Sky digital. I have it controlling the sky box great etc.
BUT
I had to pull apart the add-all-Sky-channels txt and run the commands with out the shell bit as it reported unexpected end of file.
THEN
I can't run LOADGUIDE or any other shell script downloaded from NZtivo. I can't even load the slice manually, I get an error on line 20.
I did have an issue adding C4, and tried to re-run just that channel add, so perhaps this is the prob.
It still doesn't answer the problem about the shell scripts not running... any ideas?

Many thanks in advance

dude u should be using the emulator not the manual setup.
Read Ed's thread on setting up the emulator. Just need to modify a couple of lines and your set, channels will be setup for you automagically.

apologies if the information isn't particularly clear.

Yeah, I was going to do this next time round when the new hdd arrives (start from scratch). I'm really happy with what I've got so far (all the Sky channels, but no guideinfo).

So I start with the image, and then telnet in before doing anything with the oztivo guided setup...?

Cheers

Okay, I re-ran guided setup as per Ed's instructions, worked a treat, now have guide data.
However, still can't run scripts... ? weird.
Happy for now.

Tim, I tried sending you a private message, as your email doesn't work with the .info site being down.
I would like to help out in anyway I can with the NZ efforts...

Hey, do you have guide data for UKTV? I've been wanting someone to do a fresh install so I can find out if the current headend slice is working right, so it sounds like maybe you can help me out here... Also I'd be curious to know if you have the NoNag channel at 99... Thanks, and welcome to the forums.

If you ftp'ed the files across, it could be that they got transferred as text and got the line ending screwed up. I know, it happened to me.
Just check the size of the files against the original ones.

Yeah, that was solved a month or more now... I didn't bother posting a reply on the fix in this thread, another I think. Instead I've been working on the new wiki to make it clear for other newbies in the future... thanks anyway
