Use nzTivo Image (based on 1.5) or OzTivo 1.6.2 ??

Ok, I've tried those suggestions:

I ran palmod_config and selected the NZ frequency table. Before this, I was (probably coincidentally) getting one channel - TV2. After, I am getting no channels. So I don't think I am doing anything wrong - I think the Christchurch postcode has been fully implemented in ozTivo 1.6.2 (which is confirmed by below).

I edited /etc/postcodezones and added Christchurch (02123). /bin/ntpdate ... does not have the error now, but it does say "Failed to connect to any of the time servers". I guess it doesn't work with a modem. Back in tivo, time is still wrong. I didn't wait for a daily update (because is not modem not connecting now), but I suspect that is would have change the time then). So I think this is fixed (someone may want to add the Christchurch postcode to the next ozTivo image release).

I double-checked the modem settings, and it seems like it should work, but it doesn't. I even put the tivo hdd back in my pc and re-did the settings through knoppix (setting the emulator doesn't crash there). However, when I looked at the changes it made, they were the same as nic_config_tivo - even the emulator adrress had been changed to 127.0.0.1 in tclient.conf. Maybe the address doesn't matter there, because the correct nz emulator IP is in oztivo.conf. Anyway, I even tried a second ISP, but had the same problem. As my modem worked before nic_config_tivo, I think this is a problem with nic_config_tivo - maybe when it failed, or maybe when changing from turbonet to modem, there is something it forgets to change. But I guess as modem is not supported, maybe I can't hope for too much.

And then I used nic_config_tivo to setup TurboNet use instead of modem. I could telnet in over lan, establish an ftp connection on ftp://tivo'siIP, but going to TivoWebPlus at http://tivo'siIP did not work. After less than 30 minutes usgin LAN, my tivo started crashing - remote did not work, telnet connection stopped responding and the subtle moving graphics in the background stopped moving. After a hard reset it worked for a few minutes and then crashed again. After another hard reset it only lasted for about 10 seconds. I'm guessing that is a problem with my turbonet card rather than the ozTivo image.

"crash" as in freeze or reboot?

If you mean freeze then edit the /etc/oztivo.conf file from timing=3 to timing=16 and try again. I *think* the nz image still has an oztivo.conf file. You could also try using nic_config_tivo and altering the timing setting there but the current oztivo image has issues with the setting actually changing. Not sure about the nz image but worth a shot I suppose.

If you mean reboot then I have no idea.

"crash" as in freeze or reboot?...

As in freeze. I did choose "Failsafe" in nic_config_tivo which is "16" from memory, but the setting changes you say? Well, I've re-imaged and now I don't want to touch nic_config_tivo because that seems to make the modem fail permanently, regardless of later editing of the conf files or re-running nic_config_tivo

So far, I have only used the ozTivo image.

Well if you want to stop the freezing you *HAVE* to alter the timing setting. I can't see how manually editing the oztivo.conf file would upset your modem connection but if you are that afraid then you have no choice but to unplug the network cable to stop the freezing.
