[Sorry about this, but there are a large number of people using old TiVo equipment in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Netherlands, Denmark and a few other places who would prefer not to get into a legal battle with TiVo by hindering their ability to provide a service. Modifying old TiVo gear so that it can be used without a service in a country for which there is no service is a bit of a grey area, and they're kind enough to leave us alone... but doing so in a country which does have the service is not such a grey area, and could cause the rest of us unwanted problems... :(
Please also note that if you reload from an OzTivo image then you will still need to create your own headends (a slice containing all channels available in your area).]
