    The UK TiVo tuner requires a strong signal for it to allow reception. Even if you get nice clear pictures on a TV this does not mean it's good enough for a TiVo. If your TV only has an average picture, chances are your TiVo is not going to work 100%. In that case you may need to install a signal amplifier or adjust your aerial / cabling.

    The other thing is it may not be tuned for your location. You have not entered any city or country into your visible profile. If you are not in Wellington or Auckland, the local frequencies may be different for your area.

    Hi Guys,

    thanks for your input..

    Actullay looking at the channels listed in the interface it actuallyhas them all listed as Dunedin for some reason.

    Auckland is where i am at, so i guess one of these tuner tools will be the thing to do.. is UKCHAN the correct one to use? i assume it wont be in the oztivo image by default?

    Cheers.

    "ukchan" is the correct kernel module, and it should be on both the OzTivo and NZ image.

    Pretty much, but it should actually be in the images. You can also find a version here

    well, ive loaded all the files to the tivo, but im a wintel techie not had much to do with linux compiling!

    I have the UK Tivo, and a Thomson Scenium 61" screen that has oodles of the scart connectors, so should be the best ukchan file to use?

    What do i have to do to compile it ?

    ::::

    [TiVo [p0] /var/hack/UKChan]# ls
    Makefile ukchan-2.5.5_dk-nicam.o
    bin ukchan-2.5.5_dk-nicam.zip
    include ukchan-gcc
    ukchan-2.5.5_dk-nicam.c
    [TiVo [p0] /var/hack/UKChan]#
    [TiVo [p0] /var/hack/UKChan]# ./bin/make
    gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I./include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=403 -msoft-float -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -DNZTVCHANNELS -DNICAMSTEREOMODE -c -o ukchan-2.5.5_nz-nicam.o ukchan-2.5.5_nz.c
    gcc: ukchan-2.5.5_nz.c: No such file or directory
    gcc: No input files
    make: *** [ukchan-2.5.5_dk-nicam.o] Error 1


    :::

    Cheers and thankyou for your patience Thomson!

    You don't need to compile it... there is a compiled version here that should work okay.
