Changing Program Source for 2nd input
I'd like to change my 2nd input program source from foxtel digital to a strong srt5066 digital stb.
Per the FAQs I've been trying to execute guided setup and follow the instructions in GuideSetup30.
The problem I have is that after using tivoweb to SetPALGuidedSetupMode and Reboot I do get the maintenance splash screen as suggested however guided setup does not commence.
Instead it goes straight to TiVo central.
I am able to follow the menus here to setup the different IR codes for an SRT5000 (which at this point i'm crossing my fingers is IR compatible with the SRT5066 I'm using).
After changing the IR device the tivo still cannot change channels on the STB. Either during channel change test or after accepting the setup selection and trying to change channels on the tivo. This could be a symptom of not having changed the program source from foxtel to digital fta or IR incompatibility, I'm not sure.
The blaster thingy that I am supposed to put near my stb IR input does not illuminate when I press the channel changer on the tivo remote. I don't know if this is normal or not. If not it may be the source of the IR issue.
So my question is two fold.
How can I change the program source to digital fta - is guided setup the right path - if yes, why doesn't guided setup startup?
Is the IR behaviour I've had so far to be expected or do I have a secondary problem here?
I've searched the faqs and mailing list for related topics, but no joy thus far.
edit: manufacturer = philips, software version = 3.0.01-1-000
Changing Program Source for 2nd input
I found guided setup in the system restart menu and am progressing through it. Fingers crossed the IR issue comes out in the wash :)
Changing Program Source for 2nd input
Guided setup went through ok except for IR test. Either the device is IR incompatible (in which case I can try the customer IR guides) or the absence of illumination on the IR blaster is the problem.
The stb does have a serial input - maybe this is an easier way out, but I dont see a lot of info on it. The stb manual says the serial input is for s/w upgrades - I don't know if this excludes the option of controlling chanells.
I'll probably look down the custom IR guides path short of any better ideas.
