Shell scripts - First Post
Hi All,
I'm a new Tivo user in Akl. I got my Tivo this morning after following all the info on the OZtivo website, then I finally found the NZtivo website AFTER I had done all the setup.
I have been going through the HOWTO, and I have successfully removed all the OZ channels and added Sky digital. I have it controlling the sky box great etc.
BUT
I had to pull apart the add-all-Sky-channels txt and run the commands with out the shell bit as it reported unexpected end of file.
THEN
I can't run LOADGUIDE or any other shell script downloaded from NZtivo. I can't even load the slice manually, I get an error on line 20.
I did have an issue adding C4, and tried to re-run just that channel add, so perhaps this is the prob.
It still doesn't answer the problem about the shell scripts not running... any ideas?
Many thanks in advance
Emulator is running sweet
Hey,
Yes and yes. I have now done the emulator install 3 times today. And I can confirm UKTV listings, and NoNag on 99.
Once I had it all going, I decided to do it agian, replacing cables with S-Video. However, I was appalled ad the quality/oversaturation (it was grainy too) which did not go away even after the palmod.conf as per tjv.info. So I did it again with Composite from Sky to Tivo and S-video to my TV.
All is crystal!
I noticed on one of the installs, the timezoneadj30 worked fine for timezone 2113, but not this latest time. However, the clock is correct so far. I have done the Pacific/Auckland mod prior to trying it too.
Why does the timezones file have Auckland as 0800 instead of 2113?
Any help would be appreciated.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with..
Emulator link on nztivo.net
Tim,
I had to go through the IP version of the .info site, because (is it just me?) the emulator link on the .net site goes to a topic editor...
A little gotcha - parental control
An interesting little tip/trick - OK, it's only interesting because it happened to me... If your household permits, set your parental control on the Skybox to the most liberal setting. If the channel your Tivo is resting on has activated the parental control limit, the STB will be expecting the code, or a back arrow/return. When Tivo wakes up to record, the IR blaster's attempt to change the channel will fill the first three digits of the code, and you will record 30 - 60 minutes of the "Please enter password" screen. Doh!!
Another way around it might be to program a return arrow at the beginning of every change channel command, but that just seems to hard...
