Ok, so are you using the SONY image?

Peter.

[Islander]

Yes the Sony image

[petestrash]

Ok, that solves the mystery.

As it says, the instructions are only for Philips based images. And all of these will have 1507 as the file number.

Using this video clip on Sony images leaves a jump at the end changing between the Philips and Sony animated backdrops.

You might prefer this to the sound drop out though.

Peter.

I thought I must have missed the obvious somewhere.

Sorry to have caused a flurry.

[petestrash]

No problems, but I was very curious to find out why you were different.

The patch file has been downloaded over 1000 times.

I have asked people to email me if they encounter a different number as you could hose your TiVo if you enter the wrong number.

I have only received a few queries re different numbers (mostly 1506) and these turned out to be people not following the instructions properly. At least 2 have hosed their system by using 1506.

All cool.

Peter.
