NoNag Problems

[Pastos]

I know this has been discussed in a previous thread but after trying everthing discussed there, I am hoping that someone can give me the definitive answer on eliminating the guide data messages. I am running the emulator and I have dbloaded the NoNag.slice mentioned in the post and the ga.slice mentioned in the post setup topic on NZTivo.net and used the force_index30.tcl command. I have also touched the timestamp and run the sync command. After rebooting I am still receiving the messages and there is no data showing for the NoNag channel. Do we need to download LOADGUIDE? I can live with these messages but if someone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The NoNag.slice file requires that you have the NZ headend loaded... which you should have if you used the emulator or loadguide, as it actually loads a programme episode in the future for this channel.

You can check that it has been correctly loaded into the database using the MFS section of TivoWeb. There should be an entry at the bottom of the Schedule (http://address.of.tivo/mfs/Schedule) list with a 15000 in it, similar to this:


Name Type Id Date Time Size
25195:15000:84600:01800:0:223996 tyDb 223996 10/30/04 16:03 212


If you wish to know more than have a look at this post (http://www.forums.oztivo.net/showpost.php?p=2679&postcount=19).

I am currently using a serial cable to link to the tivo while I wait for my new computer. Is it possible to check the database using HyperTerminal? Otherwise I will patiently endure the messages until I get permanent networking set up. Thanks for the advice.

Is it possible to check the database using HyperTerminal?

It is possible... but unless you are really keen you probably don't want to go down that route. But if you are really interested then the following should give you the result you wish for (you should be able to cut-and-paste it):


echo 'source $tcl_library/tv/DbEnum.tcl; ForeachMfsFile fsid name type "/Schedule" "" {puts "$fsid $name $type"}' | tivosh


The last line of the output should contain a 15000 in it; similar to the following snippet:


...
332705 25195:12826:03600:86400:0:332705 tyDb
334561 25195:12827:03600:82800:0:334561 tyDb
334562 25195:12828:00000:50400:0:334562 tyDb
223996 25195:15000:84600:01800:0:223996 tyDb

Thanks
I have used that command and the last line of the output is
94818 2392:12814:00000:07200:0:94818 tyDb
Further up there is a line that contains 15000

100275 2333:15000:84600:01800:0:100275 tyDb
730

so I am beginning to think that I have loaded the wrong slice. I used the NoNag.slice mentioned in the post http://www.forums.oztivo.net/showpost.php?p=1709&postcount=2
but whether this is the latest I am not sure. Any ideas? :confused:

Is there any way this (NoNag) can be included in the emulator slice? It seems a shame to have everything working so smoothly with the emulator (especially for new users) but then require this ugly hack to stop the nag messages..just a thought.
