Summary of Regional Channels with missing guide data

[Ewan Hoozami]

Hi David

I'm a complete TiVo newby who got one modded yesterday and tried to set it up. I'm at Sippy Downs which is just south of Buderim and as I understand it gets local channels from the Bald Knob transmitters and Brisbane relay from Mudjimba.

I tried setting it up with local postcode 4556 and got "Were sorry, no information exists about antenna channels in your area". I then tried 4558, with the same result. I then tried 4000, which populated (but took 3 and a half hours-is this normal?).

Should I be using Wide Bay instead. and if so, what is the postcode? Or should I try 4558 again, maybe it was down last night?

Your advice appreciated, many thanks.

All of Queensland should use postcode 4000 (for Guided Setup on series 3).
See https://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/vie...oKeepUsingTiVo or https://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/vie...WrongGuideData where it says which postcodes to use.
If/when that changes (other postcodes outside state/territory capitals are supported for series 3), I will update those twiki pages.
Rest assured, the guide data your tivo sees depends on what comes in from the antenna, it does not depend on the post code in guided setup at all (that might change in future, but not until after non-capital postcodes are supported).

It takes a very long time to do the initial download of guide data, and a fairly long time each day (although that is not so noticeable since it normally happens automatically).

Thanks David, my apologies for not reading all the wiki
