Ready to Re-Image - Which One???

**Muzza** · 09-01-2007, 07:22 AM

Hi All

Finally I am at a point where I have pretty much watched all the stored programs that had been delaying me changing emulators so I was planning on carrying out the required process to do this - "clear and delete everything" etc.

However - seeing as I was planning on doing this I thought maybe I should carry out an image upgrade also. I am currently using the 1.4 image and I notice their is a couple of 1.5 images and also it would appear there is a 1.6 image.

Which is the recommended one to use - main priority being reliability at this point but if there are some worthy benefits of using the very latest image maybe it is worth a go?

Your thoughts??

Cheers
Muzza.

I have been recommending that people use the latest OzTivo v1.6.2 image on their US (Philips/Sony) TiVo's. This includes most of the latest packages and has an update (via rsync) facility which could make updates far less painful in the future. The feedback I have had is that it does include all the NZ related items (emulator addresses, etc).

Yes there is now an installer menu area that allows selection of which emulator the user wishes to connect to and it sets up the image accordingly.

Sounds good.
Don't suppose you have the link to the correct 1.6 image download handy?

Thanks.

For reference there is a set of pre-customised NZ specific images on orac for philips, sony and thomson units in NZ.

I am currently downloading the 1.6.2 image file and will give it a go tonight.

Thanks.

I have re-imaged my TiVo to the 1.6.2 image and it all seemed to go well. One thing I was wondering though - do I need to adjust the endpad settings on the 1.6 image?

It seems to be in a different location than previous versions - how can I check it?

Thanks.
