I have fixed the problem.
During earlier OS releases (at least the nzTiVo images) there was no setting for TurboNet timing (at least not one I could see). During the 1.6.2 release there is an option and the default is for optimised so I selected this.
Using nic_config_tivo, I changed the timing to failsafe and it now hangs up when downloading is complete.
<UPDATE>
Suddenly the TiVo stopped working again (froze on hanging up). I checked and the timing was back to 3. I ran nic_config_tivo again, but it wouldn't change it. Seems there is a bug with this script.
You have to edit /etc/oztivo.conf and change the timing to 16.
If you find your edit hasn't worked, make sure whatever editor you are using inserts a correct newline character after the timing=16. For some reason, when I edited (using Joe) it didn't (or I did something wrong). I had to edit the file and put a ^m after the 16 then things started working again.
</UPDATE>
Maybe this is just my dodgy TurboNet card??!!
Hope this helps someone else one day.
