Hi,

The manrec module is great ! Especially now we have no NZ slice data....

Do you have the same problem as me, and as reported in the US forums where you can schedule one show ok but it gives an error if you try to schedule multiple shows, e.g. record One News same time each weekday??

haven't tried a season pass.. have only used it for the odd '1 off' recording while we wait for the guide data gods to smile upon us once again. ;)
This thread looks promising (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?postid=1671354#post1671354).
good luck..

If you use manrec you will have lots of 'Manual:' appearing in front of your recording titles in now showing. Placing the following module delmanual.tcl in /var/hack/bin and running it via cron each night will remove the 'Manual:' flag

Yup :) that was me. I have been using a variety of modules on the UK (2.5.5) model and modifying the code to add the functions that I want. I was not aware that there was a problem with a number of the modules on a 3.0 system until I was trying them out (as a number of friends are looking at US models) and found a number of them were broken.

While I do load the slice information, I currently perform all of my recording via the Manual Record module... setting recording for two months in advance.

All the issues I have found so far have been very easy to fix... typically about three lines of additional code. Not sure if we should start up a request forum here, whereby if things are bugging people they can post them so that others can have a look at a fix.

I hate forums... been posting updated code here (ont he Intro thread), on oztivo uploads and on the dealdatabase/tivocommunity sites!!!

Dear Thomson,

Thanks for your great work. A boon to us all :-)

If you would like a worthwhile challenge please have a look at this post about bufferhack22.tcl a script to extend the live cache recording of the Tivo. It executes on my standard Oztivo imaged series 1 machine and increase the buffer time beyond 30 minutes however the patch to make the bar display correctly said it was unable to execute - I'm still testing and it may in fact be ok, but this might be interesting for you anyway?!

The new version now supports both v3.0 and v2.5.5, have a look at this Thread (http://www.forums.oztivo.net/showthread.php?t=285) for a modification that includes v3.0/v2.5.5 support.
