I am having some trouble with my Tivo that I can't solve on my own. Ill try to keep this short -

I am having trouble with the read command. For some reason it is not accepting any input.

For example if I run it directly from the bash prompt as follows
read test
and type
123
Then run the set command I can see that an environment variable named test has been created but it is blank.

Once the read command has exited the string I typed (123 in this example) is then output to the bash prompt.

The same thing happens in a script. For example
echo "enter password"
read password
echo $password


Will echo nothing and then whatever I typed during the script will then be entered at the bash prompt usually with a "command not found" error
In other words I cant create a script that takes input from the user!

Any help?
