Call Fails - Interrupted

[DavidH]

Hi,

I have 2 Tivo's and one of them seems to be having trouble retrieving the Guide data. Forced a call through TivoWeb for both machines. My secondary Tivo works fine but the primary one is having a problem. It connects, sets the clock, commences downloading and then gives me the message "Failed. Call interrupted". The guide data is not updated and is stuck on 26/6. Any suggestions? Is there a way of forcing a complete reload of Guide data?

I'm assuming you have set the MAC addresses differently for each network card to avoid conflicts?

I am thinking it may be a good idea to "randomise" the MAC address during installation... I know it can be changed via the installation menu, but it's probably in everyones best interest to at least randomise a portion of the "default" MAC address in an attempt to avoid conflicts.

Couldn't agree more. I touched on that in this post: http://forums.oztivo.net/showpost.ph...31&postcount=4

I also re-wrote some of the OzTiVo twiki suggesting this would be a good idea a few days ago too.

It was probably something most did not think would be much of a problem a while ago, but now it seems common to have more than one TiVo

Worked just fine for over a year until Tuesday afternoon. My other TiVo works fine. Any suggestions?

Just tried forcing a call several times on both TiVo's and after a number of attempts it seemed to work. Is Minnie having problems?
