Image suitable for UK TiVo
Hi folks,
Just moved back to NZ, and while looking for a job, thought it would be a good time to get my TiVo sorted for use in Auckland. Well done to all you NZ TiVo / OzTivo folks as if I hadn't found this information before leaving for NZ, the TiVo would have been sold.....
My main question is this - I have a UK Thomson TiVo running sofware version 2.5.5, with a cachecard + RAM installed, and a single, new, 250Gb drive. With this in mind which disk image iso file should I use ?
Having seen the OzTiVo upload area, I then stumbled across the NZ section of the forums, and subsequently decided to use the Thomson specific image at this location ftp://orac.caffeine.co.nz/install_images. However I used the version in the pre-release folder, as it had a later date (April 06 vs March 06), and didn't have "beta" in the filename.
Unfortunately it didn't work - I wasn't able to select the Thomson image for a start, but having left the swap file siz at 127Mb, it seemed to create the swap file, than gave an error after creating the file, and it was all over after less then a few minutes. Sure enough when I tried to set up the network options, the summary text file was reporting all sorts of missing files.
So after all this waffle, which is the best 1.5 image to use with a PVR10UK TiVo - the NZ specific Thomson image (beta) at the above location or OzTivo Philips, Sony or US models.
Please help.
Thanks
I have been watching this thread
and decided to redo the image on my Thomson with the "nzTiVo-Thompson-Installer-BETA.iso" and run it using its own tuner and delete the Video player as set top box and Philips image it is currently using. I have had exactly the same problem with connecting using a turbonet card and have followed Jaidevs instructions

The tclient.conf file this setting..
# This uses emuProxy2 to avoid problems with transparent proxy for NZ
#Server emulator on Orac
127::127.0.0.1:8000:::
And in /etc/rc.d/
The rc.sysinit.author (at the end of file) runs the emuproxy2 program
emuProxy2 -s 210.48.107.133 -p 8000 &
I'd suggest a reboot, and then do the command 'ps x' via a telnet session, then check to see if 'emuProxy2 is running on port 8000
Then try initiate a daily call. If it doesn't work then comment out emuproxy from running in rc.sysinit.author, by putting a '#' in front of the line.
Then in tclient.conf as you have done, enter the line 127::210.48.107.133:8000
I think it is already there (third one) just comment out the first 127 line and enable the third one.
to the letter, this has provided to date the (Failed. Number Unavailable) message during Guided Setup. Did you meet success with these instructions auren? My tclient.conf file also had a whole pile of UK phone numbers.
I have a Philips S1 with cachecard on the same network will this be affecting the connection? it didnt previously when both TiVo's used the same image.
Could I just copy the tclient.conf file from the other TiVo using ftp and succeed? I tried it last night and it connected but failed to import and expand data.
Any Help?
