Hi. I live in Wellington, and have previously had a PAL tuner installed in my Tivo.
I'm quite keen on getting Nicam stereo working. What's the easiest way, and what would the costs be?

Hi,
Yes they are an old model. I think they were released around 2 years ago - hence the good pricepoint.
As I mentioned, they aren't too fast, but the Tivo throttles the network bandwidth it...
Hi.
I use Dynalink 810+ wireless bridges (x2). I find that the price point is pretty good, and they work nicely with my Dynalink router.
They aren't the fastest (802.11b), but for my uses (Tivo)...
SeanOffShotgun,
I've PM'ed you regarding the Nicam VCR.
The $275 for the PAL modding of the 2x Tivos was necessary as my existing VCR is a Loewe and I couldn't get the IR codes to work, no matter...
Bigmal.
I'm back :-)
Sorry for the delay.
Right, I purchased 2x RF tuners (PAL) from Darren King and got him to send them over to me. These may have been the last ones he had (he certainly...
Hi Darren,
#2 will be what is required :-)
I'll get it done after the weekend...
I recently had a Mark2 tuner installed. I live in NZ, so it was not done by Darren. The tuner picks up PAL channels fine (well 2 anyway, as my frequencies are different to the setup on the image) and...
I'm in Wellington and appear to have found an electronics guy in Lower Hutt who can do the PAL install. I dropped my Tivo off today, so I'll report back in the next couple of days as to his success...
The other way I could do it to watch specific programs in stereo in the bedroom, would be to record the program in the lounge via my STB (in stereo), and then by using MFS-FTP I could copy it across...
So if the NICAM is decoded PRIOR to the Tivo (ie via a STB or NICAM video), then the Tivo can encode it as part of the digital stream and then output it to the television.
If the NICAM is not...
Thanks for the quick reply guys.
I understand the PAL tuner pass through works - that's good to hear.
So, the Tivo receives the RF signal, records it in mono, and outputs it in mono.
Is there no...
I'm aware that as it stands there is no way for US Series 1 tivo (PAL modded) to decode NICAM stereo in NZ via a FTA PAL tuner. Hopefully work is still ongoing, but I understand it may be a "dead...
1 and 2/ ... Weird. It worked this morning using filezilla. FYI - I'm on Paradise/TelstraClear. So all is goodness - I'll have to update my images over the next day or so.
3/ Is one of the...
I'm having an issue downloading the NZ image for the Philips Tivo (there is a link in the first post in this thread). I've tried both saving the file (via the browser) as well as ftp'ing the file...
Hi.
Just thought I'd finish off this thread (unless anyone else has something to add) by saying I never did get it to work. Tried a frequency of 36, tried different code lengths - no joy :-(
I'm...
Hi Zollymonster,
Yes - in theory I should be able to use IR Slice Creator. I did this the other day (before I knew the frequency). I found that the "target length" was "2" and I was able to...
Thanks very much for your reply Peter.
I contacted the Loewe importer in New Zealand yesterday and spoke to one of the technicians.
I asked about the frequency that they transmit at, but he said...
I'm at a loss...
I have a Loewe VCR, and want to use it to provide the FTA channels to my US Series 1 Tivo.
I can't seem to transmit the IR codes (capture seems fine) using the IRSliceCreator....
