Done it, when I go through it, all the options have been pre-selected from the first install, they are all correct so I'm pretty much tapping the select button all the way through. The TV guide after the whole process looks exactly the same as before.
Is there any way to clear all those settings, eg channel data and all that so when I do the guided setup everything gets chosen properly?

Oh, I've been playing with GS any decided to select austar instead of austar digital just to see if I can fool TiVo into reselecting a fresh channel list of Austar and I have noticed that the channels in the TV guide loop back to the start when you scroll all the way through... my old configuration used to keep making a beeping noise when I got down to the bottom of the list (channel 126) and beep when I scrolled up to the top (channel 182) (refer to my 2nd post).
I thought the inability to scroll in a loop was normal, if that wasn't the case then the problem wouldn't be so bad. But it gets frustrating to go from say Showtime to the Fox8 because you have to scroll the long way through.
I might not have explained that as part of the problem before.
Anyway, my idea of trying to reselect austar digital didn't work... running out of ideas.
Vito
So you selected austar and completed gs, then went back to austar digital again without any change ?
Peter.
thats right. there's got to be some sort of DB or index file that I can clear. To me, it seems like TiVo remembers previous settings which is causing the grief.

There are two routes to try, the first is to really start from scratch (and probably best at this point), but will delete your recordings.
Use TiVoWeb to enable "PAL Guided Setup" mode. Then select Messages & Setup > System Reset > Clear & Delete everything. Which will restart a fresh GS.
The 2nd option if you wanted to keep recordings.
redo GS again as you have previously done, but this time replace austar with the same FTA selection you use for the other input.
Let the box reindex and settle for a few hours, then reboot.
Then telnet into your TiVo and get the command prompt. Change into the /tmp directory:
cd /tmp
Use a wget command to fetch a script from the Emulator, and make the script executable:
wget http://131.244.9.101/TiVo/files/scri...c_channels.tcl
chmod +x sync_channels.tcl
Now run the script:
/tmp/sync_channels.tcl -y
This should remove any remaining channel entries. reboot.
now finally do GS again an select Austar Digital.

Um, TiVo couldn't dial in so I checked the how-to's and added ,#401 to the dial prefix. But trouble's started when it says that there's no dial in numbers for 002 - I selected the option saying don't worry about it (something like that) and continued. I am faced with a whole heap of what looks like to be US regions. I think a little too much data got erased.
BTW I used area code 02000 and I have searched the posts for similar prob's, one person used the code 02114 and got around it, giving it a go now
Vito
2114 is a NZ code not for Australia.
Peter.
How does your TiVo connect to the internet
through my ADSL router... the 02114 didn't change a thing, still no dial in numbers available
thats funny, I've tried countless times and it kept telling me there's no phone numbers with 002. I rebooted and now its found numbers for 002, connecting to download guide data now ...
