Why can't you get the turboNZet card to seat properly?
Did you modify/remove the foot underneath the connector as described here: http://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/view...ngTurbonetCard
I cannot see any option to change the emulator address to 9090 when I choose www.oztivo.net. It just goes back to the Select NIC to install screen. (Maybe Petestrach can confirm?)
Yeah I might just return this to you for retest. Just give me your postal details and will post on Monday.
Just too stubborn I suppose to get this sorted out rather than get a new TIVO unit and let this one be a door stopper
Also, I've taken a picture of the turbonet card connected to my TIVO unit:

As you can see I cannot push the card further into the mobo cause that's as far as it gets so you can see those "gold tracks" slightly exposed. Also the card will only work (i.e. network card lights turned on) when the card is slotted in an angle as you can see. Otherwise the network lights won't turn on.
By the way for some reason, my TIVO can only be switched off by physically unplugging it from the power cable and the off/on button from the remote does not work. Is this normal?
Yes I am aware of the guided set up page. Thanks.

Now I'm trying to calibrate the channels with my TEAC STB SDB440. I know in the Guided setup what the actual configuration should be however when I channel surf the channels do not change. I have connected the IR cable and stuck it next to the IR receiver part of the STB but still no luck. I can see the channels trying to change in some instances though as channel numbers appear on the screen.
I tried to muck around with the other STB OZTIVO STB models and now I notice a latency when I navigate in the OZTIVO channels and I also cannot get back to the phone/recording setup screen. I think I might re-image my disk again and repeat the process.

I've worked out how this IR Receiver works. I actually thought the TIVO remote should point to these receivers when changing channels.
The TIVO IR receivers need to be near the STB receiver as shown:

I guess I need to tidy up here now and play around with this machine a bit more.
Thank you for all the help and suggestions here.
I'm very fortunate that my Television is a SONY which means I can use some of the buttons of the Sony TIVO remote that I have!

Sheesh. Well I guess that will be the first question I ask next time...at least you mentioned it before sending the card back.
Out of curiousity, does the TiVo now show up on the modem's 'Home Network' connections page?
If you saw digits on screen that is a good start in terms of IR control of your STB. You can adjust the number of digits and the delay between digits later if you need to, the main thing is getting it to change reliably for a start.
The good news is that your STB is listed here http://www.oztivo.net/tivo-bin/irdatabase.cgi (you need a login to view page) so should be in the oztivo IR database.

Yes OZTIVO Is showing on the Home Network connections page:

Luckily I posted a picture of my network card 'inserted' into the mobo. Otherwise it would have been worthless to return the card back. I actually thought the card was faulty as it wouldn't fit in the mobo).I try and provide as much information here as I can since I used to work in a tech support role.
How do I log in to the ir database? the links to provide in page if you cancel seem to be broken.
Having fun with my TIVO now. This might sound cliché by now but I like this device, not having that much exposure to DVRs until now. I also got the chance to get a device to act as a wireless bridge so that I don't have any cables running between rooms (albeit my total costs should now be equivalent to a brand new TIVO unit). Maybe install my other 80 gig HD on the OZTIVO or get a 500 gig IDE drive next...still deciding!
Thanks again.
Not sure where to put it so I'll just put it here. Thank you very much to the organiser(s) for creating this Australian site for TiVo users! I've just discovered it after having a TiVo for about a year and will be reading through it all with great interest.
Cheers, K
