Hi Keith,
I also got Palmod working after removing the conf file. I really like
the real-time capability and the separate setting for various video
sources. The error message I got :"Unable to open palmod interface. Any
change made will not take effect until TiVo is rebooted." The conf
program did not exit though. I did reboot after the mknod command and
before using Palmod. Please note that I am running the original v3 Tivo
here in Hoalland and I did have the NZ palmod installed for trying out
various setting. Perhaps the conf file of that version is not upgradeable?
