I can't really help other than offer moral support. Changing a hard drive over is fairly straightforward.
Not much else goes wrong other than maybe power supply caps need replacing.
I had a modded...
Still trying to get in touch with anyone maintaining the program guide.
Thanks
That's an interesting fault. Is it always happening at 7PM?
Have you tried the SD and HD versions of ABC?
Worth a look anyway.
Same here,I've got a spare unit in the shed(No MAK,so more useless than one with)and a dozen chips doing nothing. The rubber feet just perish after time. If I could get a decent program guide I'd be...
I have a channel issue too. 7Mate (74) in Melbourne is available in the 7 bouquet. I can watch it,and record it manually only when I am watching live.It doesn't exist as a channel I can record...
I see you are in SA(I am not). Is it metro area? Anyone else in SA having issues? Does it happen all the time and on other 9 channels? Could be many things. Marginal reception,antenna...
Is the xml data related at all to the Tivo guide? The reason I am asking is because there is information related to 7Mate in xml even with current dates,yet Tivo shows a blank guide for this channel....
Not sure if this is the right place to post this. With 7 Mate changing from 73 to 74 in Melbourne,I no longer have any guide info.
I suppose I'll have to find a TV guide and work out a manual fix....
Hi Matt, Racing.com (78) is AAC (I think?) only with respect to newer MPEG encoding at head end and newer TVs. Not much bandwidth allocated to the spectrum either.
Hi Matt,Confirming the update was applied to my Tivo overnight.
All seems to be working as before.I only use my Tivo for a few channels and not fussed about Racing.com on 78 having no audio.
Thanks...
Long time since I have been on this site and good to see some activity.
Matt,is the fix to pass mpeg4 audio into the Tivo? or something else?
The audio format for those channels is AAC.
Transmission for 7 Network no longer from Melbourne. New playout centre in Sydney commenced on August 21st using new gear.
Audio will be affected on 74 and 75 for older STB's(ie Tivo)
I really like the PyTivo interface.It's way better than the official desktop.Having said that,I noticed some of my transfers to PC using PyTivo were having video frame stepping and was becoming quite...
Hi Darren,
Thanks for your reply.It's quite comprehensive and I have learned quite a lot reading it.
I do appreciate the work you do.I will email you regarding my faulty board.

Hi Darren,I had a faulty motherboard I sent you last year,with a similar but not the same problem.Flashing green light/motherboard issue.
It was unrepairable. Shame,but it would have been...
I must say even after modifying mine (and a few others) I rarely use it. I have a tube of chips unused and probably will stay that way.
Thanks for offering the mod info anyway.
Cheers.
Hi Spong,Just got kmttg 2.4h configured and transferring a .tivo file to my PC . PyTivo works for me as well.
Hi Darren,
Apparently it was an early test unit supplied by Hybrid TV in Sydney,hence the pre soldered socket and reset button.
Here's an unusual motherboard I haven't seen before .Has a momentary switch near Prom(which already had a socket) Might have been a special developers board? Or is this common?

See photo.
Well I tried that and now have lost all my recordings. :(
Was that meant to happen?
Fortunately I backed up the drive earlier.
If you get program guide info downloaded successfully,don't change anything.When I modded my first Tivo,I didn't need to change any settings at all and it worked.(But unit died a few weeks later of...
Hi Darren,I posted here regarding my previous (modified)Tivo a few weeks ago.
Following a power outage/possible surge, Tivo dead.
No green LED,no video.
Decided to have a go at modding another one...
With my original Tivo dead,I have picked up another unit and performed the chip mod.
I put my original (modified) drive in and Tivo boots up but I have a message
"A hardware problem has been...
