missing links for beginners

Because not everyone updates their TiVo's to the latest software, there are many different ways of doing the same thing.

For the current version,

Just make sure 3 of the lines in oztivo.conf have:
timing=16
emulator=www.oztivo.net
emulatorport=9090

Then reboot and try again.

Don't worry about emuproxyZA settings for now.

Thanks for the reply Peter. Maybe I did too much reading to try and sort this out (7 hours so far !), but I can see that recent changes would make some of the posts outdated.

Anyway, I made the changes you suggested - no change : "failed. Service unavailable".

Ive added some further info below which may or may not assist you in assisting me !! :

I use TPG ADSL2+.
Proxy test says : The proxy host is syd-pow-pr2.tpgi.com.au which has ip address 202.7.166.164
The Tivo is getting out to the net as I can ping out to the web (the above address for example).
Im using OzTiVo version 3 release 1.6.2 on a sony 2000.

Ive also attached a putty log of the files involved in the posts Ive been looking at - if only for completeness because I firmly believe Ive put them all back to original state !

On the trivia side, to reboot the box when its stuck in maintenance mode is there a cleaner alternate to simply pulling the power ?

many thanks again . . . Im so close yet so far ! By the way the install process and documentation thus far was fantastic. Couldnt have been easier, and I was up to this point within an hour of opening the box ! What a great bunch of enthusiasts there must be to put it all together !
