Emulator vs Loadguide

[zollymonsta]

Hi All,

I'm still trying to get my head around Ed's emulator vs Loadguide.

Currently I'm using the oztivo image, with loadguide pointing to Tim's website.

Is there any difference between the oztivo image and Ed's emulator or am I missing something?

ya been taking too many of ur monster drugs zollymonster?
this issue was addressed in the emulator thread previously. emulator is the prefered method due to the ease of keeping channels upto date

Even i'm using emulator, have been for quite a while now

loadguideing or dbloading is still an option for those on an upgrade path, uk tivo for example...

Ya, it's those funny little pills. Y'know.. they have that red stripe down the middle, and they call to me in the middle of the night...

'Zolllllllllllllymonsta... zollllllllllllllymonsta... take ur pilllllllllllllls'

Will the emulator work with the saturn lineup?

Is it worth me changing over? Where do I get the emulator?

*throws rock back into pond so I can no longer hide under it*

[timmy]

hmm saturn channels. umm when u guys losing techtv? about the only channel that makes any difference from sky anyway..

[zollymonsta]

tommorow I think, or today.

The only other different channels Saturn has is TBN, DT&A, Weather and the movie guides/ppv channels

[timmy]

so in others words exactly the same... might as well switch

[zollymonsta]

True that. ;-) I guess I can just remove channels I can't see (like Skys SBO channels).

Is it a different cd image for the emulator?

[timmy]

nah exactly the same image as what ur using, remember the guided setup stuff. I believe Ed noted in the emulator forum thread that switching to the emulator was a simple task. u dont need to reinstall or anything, just change the IP address of the emulator and thats about all. not sure what the deal is with how often it connects to emulator and stuff but Ed will know...

U can still run loadguide afterwards, just think of the emulator as guide data + channel data...

Yeah, the emulator thread mentions how to convert an existing machine. Went very smoothly for my large test sample of one.

Ok. I will look at changing over next week.
