DJC,
I recently gave this image a go on a friends unit but had a little trouble connecting to the NZ emulators. I am hoping that there might be some logs on the emulator that might help you get such an image working with it?

I am happy enough to supply all the latest packages for the UK units as I keep mine up-to-date and stable.

I am running my Thomson UK Tivo on 2.5.5 from the OzTivo beta 1.3 image. I couldn't get the guided setup to work at the time (this may have changed now).
I got it working by manually setting up the source and adding the channels using the scripts and implementing LOADGUIDE. I have this process roughly documented if you need it.

The reason I moved from the US 3.0 to UK 2.5.5 software was stability. I found the 3.0 software to be slightly unstable on my UK Tivo. The UK 2.5.5 software is absolutely reliable on the UK Tivo currently 100 days up time and still going.

All the best with your Tivo adventures.

Cheers

I've had access to a Thomson UK unit from a mate to install for him. The unit is not mine, but if anyone has one for sale to a good development home ... :) especially if they are as stable as tarx says.

Anyway I've run through quite a number of tests. The old/legacy emulator setups will not pass a UK 2.5.5 through GS. The 3.0 images, as Peter pointed out, work fine on the emulator (with the scartctl backgrounded to allow emuProxy to start) with a UK tivo in NZ.

The new emulator configuration I've been working on does work with the UK unit under 2.5.5 and I have sucessfully installed the first emulator UK tivo today. Worked pretty much just as a 3.0 GS very simple.

So... once the new emulator system is released into the open UK tivos including those used for FTA can go emulator.

[Thomson PM me if you want to give your friends one another crack; its a 25 minute job. Cheers/DJC]

I've not had the unit long enough to sort out the ukchan sound issues for NZ under 3.0, so that will have to be passed along to someone else with the UK tivo.

The ozTiVo UK 2.5.5 image was pretty complete the only things that needed update to GS were: no postcode zones, tclient, added emuproxy (option), zoneinfo files are missing for anything outside Australia. I've got the updates stored away for a localised image at some stage in the future.
