There is a TivoWeb module called ChannelMap which should do the job... it will allow you to map the channels to whatever you wish. If you do not already have it you can use this link and save it as ChannelMap.itcl in your TivoWeb modules directory.Quote:

You could use add_whole_channel.tcl but that would just do the same as loading a headend.slice file. You may also need to delete the existing sources in order to add new ones.Quote:

If you are pressing '1' on the remote and not getting TV1 then the chances are the FineTune parameters are incorrect. You can browse the MFS database using TivoWeb to check that the slice has loaded correctly - I think this is under Setup->Sources (otherwise you will need to delete all sources and start again).
I have a US tivo running the oztivo 3.0 image. I have fitted the hardware PAL tuner mod. Now I just need to get the correct channels tuned in. So I am looking for an Auckland headend with the following channel frequencies which I got from my TV. They were in MHz, and I assume the tivo is set up in KHz:
TV1:55.25MHZor 55250Khz,
TV2:175250Khz
TV3: 196250Khz
TV4: 210250Khz
Triangle: 631250Khz
Prime: 775250Khz
Sky:591120Khz
C4:591310Khz
Juice: 759250Khz
Maori: 647250Khz
I have not been able to find one on this forum. Any assistance in this would be greatfully received
Thanks
Okay... headends associate the Tivo channel number (the first number in the table) with a Station Identifier. I can create a headend that contains most of the following channels, but am missing information for TV4, Triangle and Sky.Quote:

09 - TV4, 210250Khz, ?What is this channel?
41 - Triangle, 631250Khz, ?Can't find a stationid for this?
36 - Sky, 591120Khz, ?Frequency is wrong, and which Sky channel?
59 - Prime, 775250Khz, channelid=1018, stationid=7998006
36 - C4, 591310Khz, channelid=1034, stationid=7998032
57 - Juice, 759250Khz, channelid=1007, stationid=7998030
43 - Maori, 647250Khz, channelid=1025, stationid=7998033
Well I have tried what you suggested Thomson, but still no luck.
I do the dbload sucessfully, but when I do "setheadend 6001" I get the following error message:
[TiVo [p0] /var/hack/bin]# setheadend 6001
can't open object (errDbNotFound)
while executing
"db $db open $objspec"
(procedure "OpenObject" line 3)
invoked from within
"OpenObject $db /PostalCode/$zip"

invoked from within
"uplevel $body"
invoked from within

invoked from within

(procedure "SetupHeadend" line 2)
invoked from within
"SetupHeadend $db $zip "
(file "/hack/bin/setheadend" line 144)
[TiVo [p0] /var/hack/bin]#
I dont understand what this means, but my channels don't come up. I have tried a system reset, and done the same procedure, but still no luck. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Sorry about that... kind of my fault :(Quote:

I have attached a headend that uses 6001, so the steps for this headend would be:
1. Perform a full reset of the TiVo
2. Don't bother with the GS, just get a bash prompt
3. dbload30.tcl auckland-headend.slice
4. setheadend 6001
5. dbload30.tcl NoNag.slice
6. fixup30.tcl
7. reboot
I've been having a few troubles getting this going in the Waikato. Currently I get this:Quote:

Seems that you do not have an existing /Setup/PostalCode entry. I guess the easiest way to set one up would be to find the line in the script that reads:Quote:

However, you will need to change it back to "set" after you have run the script otherwise if you need to use it again it will error because there is already a field by that name.Code:dbobj $setup add PostalCode $zip
Cheers Thomson, though I'm still having the same trouble with said modification of the script:
What other ways are there to hack this PostalCode thing? If it helps, /hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland exists.Code:invalid attribute: PostalCode
while executing
"dbobj $setup add PostalCode $zip"
[edit] I tried commenting out the first line, then the first & second, and it fails on the later things also, eg TimeZone and DaylightSavingsPolicy. How do I initialise the database it's trying to access?
