And hello and welcome to you too
On behalf of everyone else I'll say "you're welcome". On a personal note, I'm glad that you found my help informative. I'm always happy to help, or at least point in the right direction if I don't fully know (and I don't know everything!).First I need to thank all of the contributors to the ozTiVo TWiki, those responsible for doing the hacks, integrating software and building the ISO images. Great job! Also thanks to all those working had behind the scenes keeping the guide data updated, it is very much appreciated. A special thanks to Darren for taking his time to answer a hundred stupid questions during a long phone call and for answering his e-mail.
A wise choice to get the "stamp of approval". Now that she likes it you will need both of those TiVo's because you will end up losing out every time in the fight on who watches whatI didn’t want to buy a Turbonet card or install a PAL/Australian tuner until the “supreme allied commander of the southern hemisphere” (aka she who must be obeyed) saw, was pleased and gave TiVo the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. I have a VCR that I’m using as TV source and I had a spare, new, 80Gb Hitachi Deskstar floating around so used it for now.
And that is good advice for others. I'm pleased you had a go, stuck it out and won in the end. Some just give it the "it's too hard" treatment and give up, which is not how TiVo outside the USA works. It works by experimenting and learning. Top marks to you(experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want..)
I'll make a couple of comments to be of benefit:
This is actually normal. If you had rebooted again the time would come up correct. It takes the second time you boot with the "Starting up..." screen for the time to be correct. Another way to set time if it is not right is to force another daily call through the TiVoWEB (and TiVoWEB+) "phone" tab. If you find that you still do not have the right time then you may need to check that a firewall is allowing port 37 to get through too.Third experience, after the second guided setup call, after waiting the 4 hours and for System Information to indicate all had finished, and after re-boot into normal mode (made sure I wasn’t in maintenance mode) – date and time was incorrect.
On the latest images (R1.6.2) TiVoWEB+ is actually the standard, and is configured to start on bootup. Did you download the install ISO R1.6.2? (tip: what version number in the starting up splashscreen do you see?)Fourth experience, couldn’t get the Tivoweb on the ISO image to work. Tried the echo trick, looked around, ps ax didn’t list it and given my limited linux knowledge I just gave up.. Downloaded TivowebPlus, installed it, started it and that works just fine. Given my VI/Joe knowledge is zero haven’t tried to edit the .author config file so after I re-boot I have to telnet and restart Tivowebplus.
