Tclient vs Loadguide

**martythompson** · 24-09-2006, 10:39 AM

Hi there

I have UK Tivo running a self modified version of 2.5.5. I tried the OZTivo image a year or so ago and it seems to lock up regularly so went about having a play and it has been working fine recently.

With some help from "thomson" back in May 2006 I was able to get TV1,2 and 3 through RF, and Sky through AV. I use a cron job to check for Guide Data using LOADGUIDE via my broadband connection. I could never get TClient to work correctly.

Recently, with the change of UKTV and Prime, i've run into an issue which I need some help with. I changed my loadguide.conf file to use 210.48.107.133:8000 and I am getting data ok, but I still don't have MTV or Prime and UKTV around the right way.

Last night, after reading the Prime/UKTV Post I started Guided Setup again. Note to self - Bad mistake if you can't make a daily call using Tcleint. Anyway after my restore from backup i'm back where I was.

My questions:

Is the reason MTV hasn't shown up and Prime/UKTV still not right because i'm not using the daily call function or should I still be able to get these changes using LOADGUIDE. Should I be trying to fix the daily call and ditch the LOADGUIDE Cron?

Secondly, Is anyone with a UK 2.5.5 running an OZTivo image. Is it performing ok?

Would appreciate any help or comments

Thanks

There is a v2.5.5 NZ image available that jaidev kindly created that supports the local emulator. If you wish to have a play you can download it here, you want the use the nzTiVo-Thompson-Installer-BETA.iso. There is a thread here if you wish to discuss the image. I still roll-my-own guide data
