XMLTV EPG Australian TiVo

[praxidice]

Is it possible to use an XMLTV EPG with an Australian TiVo, and if so, is anyone aware of a rather pedantic tutorial adequate to assist someone who has never done this previously. I've never had reason to mess about with TiVo operating systems although I presume its some rendition of linux. That should mean the device can be accessed by telnet and ftp, and the relevant data uploaded. I have no idea what username / password is required and whether or not there is a cron arrangement to regularly update the EPG but I can only assume there is something comparable. Any input / advice would be much appreciated.

please update the EPG

Please explain what you mean.
Do you mean the oztivo EPG, for Australian series 3 TiVos which have been upgraded with the oztivo installer (from about Oct 2017)?

If you were able to use an XMLTV EPG with an Australian TiVo, can you please guide me? I'm stuck.

If you have an Australian series 3 TiVo, then it would be much easier to use the oztivo EPG (which you should get automatically if you have upgraded your tivo to oztivo) than trying to work out your own way of using an XMLTV EPG.

I am also facing the same problem. i am also not aware about this software so i do not try anything in it. Please tell me also if you find any solution. I am waiting for your reply.

I don't understand the problem, so I don't understand why you are trying to use XMLTV EPG with an Australian TiVo. Please explain your current situation (what you have now), and why you don't like your current situation.

I can understand why praxidice may have been asking for help in 2016 (before oztivo was made available for regular S3 TiVos in Australia in late 2017), but I don't understand what is the problem in 2019, unless it is being asked by people who don't know oztivo is available for S3.

I also think so you are right.
