Hi all, thanks for all the "clues" in this thread for setting up a UK tivo with 2.5.5 - now I can still watch sky while recording FTA using the internal tuner :) Only one question, is it possible to get NICAM from the rf output? My TV says it outputs mono (although I can still use the output from the scart connector instead anyway).
We really need to write a full guide for setting up a UK tivo, but in the mean time here are some tips for the next person who attempts to try this (all can be found on forum, wiki etc):
- edit /etc/tclientUK.conf and change the 127: line to the emulator ip and port 8000 ( 127::210.48.107.133:8000::: ) or setup emuproxy
- edit /etc/postcodezones and add "02112 Pacific/Auckland" (Tab between number and Pacific)
- run the commands in telnet:
dbsetx /Setup TimeZone 0
dbsetx /Setup DaylightSavingsPolicy 0
- copy the ukchan-2.5.5.o module (earlier in this thread) to /hack/ and telnet:
rw
cd /lib/modules
mv ukchan-2.5.5.o ukchan-2.5.5.o.backup
cp /hack/ukchan-2.5.5_nz-nicam.o /lib/modules/ukchan-2.5.5.o
ro
More or less follow the guided setup instructions for US tivo, with a couple of changes
- Change the phone dialing options and set the prefix to ",#401" (without the quotes) to use the Turbonet card
- Use postcode 02112 for FTA (or FTA and sky)
- I had to select "aerial and satellite", because "aerial and cable" reported there were no service providers
Again thanks to everyone involved :)
