Image suitable for UK TiVo

I followed the instructions in the following thread http://forums.oztivo.net/showthread.php?t=959 and edited my tclient.conf file in line with that. I still had connection problems not because of the issue you have, but because the cachecard was not configured by default in the nzThomson image (turbonet is default I believe) and it worked fine for me once I configured the cachecard.

Did you run the turbonet setup and have it configure your card (ie static IP address, subnet, gateway etc)

If you edit your tclient file in line with the above post, and your turbonet card is configured correctly, you shouldn't have a problem.

Can anyone else help further as I am no expert on this......by any means. Keep us up to date on your progress finethen.

If you are able to telnet to your tivo then the network card is working fine.

Make sure the ,#401 dialling code is in the phone dialling options.

So you did connect to the port 8000 emulator sucessfully after copying the tclient.conf over?
Does your other tivo connect to the port 80 legacy emulator? If so this is why it's failing a UK Tivo image will not successfully pass a guided setup from the port 80 emulator, you need to change the 127:: entery in your tclient.conf on the UK Thomson tivo to port 8000

The image by default uses emuProxy2, which part of the instructions did you follow have you disabled emyProxy2?
if so have you enabled the 127::210.48.107.133:8000 line in tclient.conf?
and commented out the 127::127.0.0.1:8000::: line?

Thanks to both of you for the replies, auren thanks for your tip I was using a useful but slightly less relevant setup with pictures on the NZTivo site and have swapped to the faithful Ed thread.

Jaidev thanks for your help bro heres my answers

If you are able to telnet to your tivo then the network card is working fine. Yes networking is fine

Make sure the ,#401 dialling code is in the phone dialling options. Yes now changed during guided setup

So you did connect to the port 8000 emulator sucessfully after copying the tclient.conf over? Yes but it would not expand the data and failed

I have enabled 127::210.48.107.133:8000 in tclient.conf, added the 127::127.0.0.1:8000 in tclient.conf. and altered rc.sysinit.author with the line emuProxy2 -s 210.48.107.133 -p 8000 &. So far I have run with all combinations of 127::127.0.0.1:8000::: commented out and the emuProxy line commented out. and also with both enabled and 127::210.48.107.133:8000 commented out

I ran etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author by accident when editing and at the end of the string it said

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author: emuProxy2: command not found

No sign of emuProxy2 running after telneting back in.

So probably still need a few hints, I have tried disconnecting the other TiVo as well.

Appreciate any other leads, thanks for your help :)

Well it seems you are connecting fine.

emuproxy2 is used if your ISP is using a transparent proxy. You can download it by ftping to orac.caffeine.co.nz it is in the /install folder.

FTP emuproxy2 to your tivo to the /var/hack/bin folder.

If you are going to use emuproxy2 then you need to comment out the 127::210.48.107.133:8000 line in tclient.conf

If you are NOT using emuproxy2 then you need to comment out the
127::127.0.0.1:8000::: line in tclient.conf and enable the 127::210.48.107.133:8000 line.

And comment out the emuProxy2 -s 210.48.107.133 -p 8000 & line in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author


The "segmentation violation" could point to a hardware failure (i.e. turbonet)

Thanks Jaidev, I will try swapping to the cachecard in the other TiVo first to check if its the hardware. The machine seems to go into repetitive reboot mode if I use the NZTiVo Philips image so I will persevere with the Thomson image

ok try that, we suspect it may be a corrupt software config, or hardware, possibly try downloading and upgrade your turbonet drivers again.

Do a md5sum against your downloaded turbonet drivers

Tried the cachecard same response "Failed. Number unavailable"

Might just try a new image download, there is a wee message at the end of image restore before the succeeded message comes up that says restore has failed, I'm picking that happens to everyone?

I will try the MD5 Option and report back. Thanks once again for your ongoing assistance. I will send you one of my children as payment...... on second thoughts .....

Well wrote the image using a different machine and presto I am past the Setup call, thanks Jaidev it was a software issue I should have taken notice of the error after writing the image, and rewritten on another machine.

I now have a TiVo running with the Dunedin channels I am sure that is easily solved. Thanks for your work with the image I am pleased to finally use the Thomson with its own tuner.

Jaidev, just one last question, can one type in a postal code that will bring up the Auckland FTA channels during GS? If not what is the easiest way to setup for Auckland with

2 55.250 TV 1
4 175.250 TV 2
7 196.250 TV 3
9 210.250 C4
41 631.250 Triangle
43 647.250 Maori TV
57 679.250 Juice TV
59 775.250 Prime TV
62 799.250 Alt TV

Thanks I promise I wont hassle till I reimage again.
