Problem with channel line up in Sydney

I installed version 1.3, got it all going. I do have ABC Wollongong, WIN, Prime, Capital and SBS Wollongong, as well as 2,7,9,10,28 and 31. I set for Sydney 02000 and 002. It connected and downloaded the channels.

But they are wrong :(. I have a samsung tuner, I ran the config and the Sydney channels are correct.

The correct UHF channels for Knights Hill are:

SBS 53
ABC 56
WIN 59
Capital 62
Prime 65

How can I update these channels so my guide data matches?

I tried using add-whole-channel.tcl, but it seems to be complaining, I am sure as the station codes I am using are assigned to the wrong channels on the tivo.

I dumped all the references in the database, so I know all the entries, example 2274/42 is WIN, and its entry references 2344/-1.

Since I know the entries there MUST be a way to edit them, simply correcting the channel numbers.

Station 2344/11 {
Affiliation = {WIN Television}
CallSign = WIN-NSW
City = NSW-Regional
Country = Australia
DmaNum = 612
FccChannelNum = 62
IndexPath = /StationTms/1081:928 /Server/7210008
Name = {WIN NSW}
ServerId = 7210008
ServerVersion = 7
State = NS
TmsId = 1081
Version = 1
ZipCode = 02500


How can I edit those channels? I cant delete them as the only way is to default tivo back and it will connect and download the wrong ones again.

Thanks!

Fixed :)

I managed to edit the entries in the database to the correct UHF frequencies.

By chance could you please put your solution on the board so that anyone in passing by this issue could solve the issue if they come across it, or if you forget and need to know how, you could look up your own post.

Thanks in advance.

Sure :)

Okay here we go...

You first have to find your source numbers. The easiest way is tivoweb so here we go:

Start tivo web
click MFS
click the number in Setup (for my TIVO it is 2274)

It will then display something like this:

Setup 2274/10 {
Version = 17
Source = 2274/12
IndexPath = /Setup
}

Then click the source link (mine is 2274/12)

It will then display something like this:

SignalSource 2274/12 {
Connector = 1
RFChannel = 3
VariableBitrate = 0
Headend = 2319/-1
LineupType = 16
SignalType = 1
Channel = 2274/13 2274/14 2274/15 2274/16 2274/17 2274/18 2274/19 2274/20 2274/21 2274/22 2274/23 2274/24 2274/25 2274/26
}

Now each Channel link, is a channel stored in the database. SO in this example I will open 2274/26

Channel 2274/26 {
Station = 2317/-1
Number = 59
}

This means its using UHF 59, and if we click 2317/-1 we get:

Station 2317/11 {
ServerVersion = 7
TmsId = 1081
Name = {WIN NSW}
CallSign = WIN-NSW
City = NSW-Regional
State = NS
ZipCode = 02500
Country = Australia
DmaNum = 612
Affiliation = {WIN Television}
ServerId = 7210008
Version = 2
FccChannelNum = 59
IndexPath = /StationTms/1081:90d /Server/7210008
}

Now say I wanted to change this to UHF channel 42, I simply do the following:

we use dbset "source" "tag of what we are changing" "new data"

open telnet
dbset 2317/11 FccChannelNum 42

if you get a error send it again, until you get a simple return only.

Now this has changed 2317/11 now to UHF 42.

Go back one page in your web browser (tivoweb) you are back to:

Channel 2274/26 {
Station = 2317/-1
Number = 59
}

in the telnet now we change this value to match 42 also

dbset 2374/26 Number 42

Presto!!

We changed WIN-NSW to UHF 42!!

Cheers,
