    Thomson Scenium PVR10UK set up problems

    Further to my previous post: http://forums.oztivo.net/showthread.php?t=1706

    It's connected by a patch cable to a Dynalink Adsl modem and wireless router. I'm using a Mac with OS X 10.5 and from Terminal can ping both to the Tivo and also to the emulator address but can't make the set up call from the Tivo to the emulator. I can also check and alter the /etc/tclient.conf to try the different emulator addresses or ports.

    I'm stumped and a little frustrated. Can anybody offer any ideas, please? (Except Philips and a PC!)

    At this stage I only want to set up for aerial input and I'm in the Tauranga/Mount area. I'm unsure as to whether we get the Auckland or Hamilton TV signal as it comes to us via Te Aroha, as does the Hamilton signal for the Waikato.

    I'd really like to get it going and I'd love to be able to contribute to the efforts that created and maintain these forums.

    Please, please, please what shall I try next?

    pinging

    Have you tried pinging the emulator (210.48.107.133) from the TiVo (logged in via telent)?

    Sorry for the delay. Can't seem to reach the emulator, result posted below:

    PING 210.48.107.133 (210.48.107.133): 56 data bytes
    ping: sendto: Network is unreachable


    Any ideas, please?

    Peter, thanks for your prompt reply. I've run the diagnostics and will attach them below.

    Thanks, Simon

    Did you install the cachecard yourself?

    Did you use the Silicon Chip drivers?

    Assuming 192.168.1.1 is your routers address try:
    route add default gw 192.168.1.1
    traceroute -n 210.48.107.133

    I am using an older version of the NZ 2.5.5 image, so it may not be identical, but:

    1) The cachecard drivers were out of date so I had to install the newest one myself (Hopefully this has been done in the latest NZ image)

    2) The route command is a link to route.fake, which does nothing. If this is the same on your tivo (likely since you said route returned nothing), you'll need to modify the first command petestrash gave you to:

    route.tivo add default gw 192.168.1.1

    Peter,

    I fitted the Cachecard myself. (guilty!)

    I tried your suggestion about the add default gateway and got no response, I then tried Catdog's suggestion and got the following response:

    [TiVo [p0] ~]# route add gw 192.168.1.1
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# route.tivo add default gw 192.168.1.1
    SIOCADDRT: File exists

    Then on the traceroute I got:

    [TiVo [p0] ~]# traceroute -n 210 48.107.133
    traceroute: "48.107.133" bad value for packet length
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# traceroute 210.48.107.133
    traceroute to 210.48.107.133 (210.48.107.133), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
    1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 1.990 ms 1.315 ms 1.198 ms

    6 * * *
    7 * * *
    8 * * *
    9 * * *
    10 * * *

    Is there a way to stop the traceroute? I had to quit Terminal to abort it as I figured the nine sets of asterisks would probably tell you enough.

    you should be able to Ctrl C the traceroute. That should (in theory) kill most UNIX processes that are running in the foreground.

    Simon, when you start up your TiVo do you get the Silicon Dust splash page and does it go through the Cacheing , Verifying, etc. procedure ok? It took the Thompson I was working with about 3 or 4 minutes to go through all that before it even dropped me into the TiVo Menu/Guided Setup.

    I am not too familiar with the UK image, but I know that if you use the Silicon Dust driver install package on a TiVo running the US based Oztivo image it really buggers up things sometimes making the tivo even unbootable. This is why we say not to use the Silicon Dust installers here. Of course just updating the drivers is fine, just don't use thier instsller to do it. Copy the files instead.

    As I don't have a Thomson, I can't really assist in trying to bring back your system. Possibly Ben may be able to talk you through it.

    Peter.
