Guided setup problem

[mikepy]

I thought to myself next time that happens i'll have a good look.
Never happened since!!

Pete I tried using delallsource and then re running GS but i still only get the Hobart Lineup??

Mike

[mikepy]

Yes after that GS, Tivo's time has been rester to 4.43 pm which is 5 hrs back!!
i will do a forced phone call to see if that puts it right

Mike

But a reboot did.
So I now have the right time again.

But still cant get the Bernie/devonport lineup?

I haven't got a spare box to try GS again on, but checking the basics you do select:
'Cable' as your source
'07000' as your postcode
'003' as your area code

There is also one possibility that when the new headend was created the headend Version number was not advanced. It would explain why it works for Darren on a fresh install, but not on an existing TiVo.

If your in a hurry, A fresh image and GS will work (as Darren has tried). But if you can wait a little while I'll look into it.

[mikepy]

Yes all that is done and correct

thanks

There was a mistake in the headend.

If you redo GS again it should come up this time.

Great at Last i've got the lineup

oh dear when i go to live TV on any of the cable channels i still get
"The recorder cannot show live tv"



does anyone know what the channel frequencies are being used in this lineup?

mike

[mikepy]

Ok this is getting interesting I only wish i had a clue!

OK the lineup is there but i get as i said before i get blue screen with "The recorder cannot show live tv"
so i try to run Palmod_config which always starts with an error and then doesn't work properly so i remembered how i got round that last time by typing in
insmod -f /lib/modules/palmod.o `cat /etc/palmod.conf`
now i dont have any idea what that means i just got it from the forum.

This starts Palmod_config without error and i can now alter the frequencies.
I was told that as i alter the frequency i should see the channel on the telly.
so i tuned to channel 51 on the tivo (got blue screen etc) and then changed the frequency to what my telly seems to like which is 575500--- Telly changes to history channel!! but only after i move off this channel to another cable channel.
Changing to any of the new lineup keeps showing the history channel with no sound!

So after some experimenting it seems that if i change to a satellite channel and then onto any of the new lineup i get the last channel i was watching without the sound.
Even after exiting palmod and closing my telnet session this still happens.

after a reboot it all goes back to showing the blue screen on any of the cable channels.

I tested it again and found that when i run the command
insmod -f /lib/modules/palmod.o `cat /etc/palmod.conf`

the tivo goes back to previous behaviour of staying on satellite channel with no sound. BUT not on the screen i'm actually watching at the time.
What i mean is that i'm watching say channel 51 with blue screen on it
then run insmod -f /lib/modules/palmod.o `cat /etc/palmod.conf`
nothing changes
turn to any of the other in the new lineup and get the previous satellite channell -
switch back to channel 51 and blue screen is gone but getting same picture with no sound

I hope you understood all that i've tried to make it as clear as i can but it doesnt look very clear when i read it back!

Thanks again
MIKE

Ok, I think some of this behavior may be because of a clash between channels.

Try going into massages and setup / my preferences / customise channels.

Scroll down to channel 51. Is there two entries shown ? If there is, disable the paytv one for the time being and try palmod_config again.
