Picture/System Freezing

Peter,
Why did I not see timing=3 in this file before? Don't answer that.
Anyhow value is now adjusted. Let's see if this improves the freezing problem.

Once I've mastered the process of copying the material I have in Now Viewing to my Mac and then to DVD I will upgrade to Ver 1.6.

Thanks for your response.

Geoff.

Cool, like I said there have only been a couple of people who had Issues upgrading (and I don't think any started at v1.5), but it's better to be safe then sorry.

I seem to have the same freezing issue. My problem is that nic_config_tivo will not change Turbonet speed so I can't check if this is the problem? When I select the "failsafe" option it appears to flash a message saying "file or directory not found" (or something similar twice, ie 2 lines ). Goes too fast to read properly. When I check the file sure enough it has not changed (still at "3")

Incidentally changing ip address etc works fine.

Sorry to be such a noob but can I edit file manually? If so, what would be the step by step instruction (I can telnet and ftp OK).

Cheers

You have an old faulty version of nic_config_tivo.

Where are you locacted? (Please update your profile)

If in Australia, are you running v1.6.x?

Yes you can also manually change the details, but how depends on the OzTiVo version you are running.

Thanks for replying. I'm in Melbourne (hopefully my profile says that now). Running 1.6.2 on a series 1 phillips.

Really graateful for help with this. What's my best approach do you think? Replace the nic_config_tivo?

Cheers

Have you moved to the new server yet?

And if yes, how did you do it?

Peter.

**ibart** · 08-07-2008, 10:38 PM

Gosh. Yes I am on the new server but I can't remember exactly how - there were instructions from here I recall - an update_tivo via telnet I think?

**ibart** · 09-07-2008, 08:07 PM

Definately update_oztivo -y - no sign anything went wrong

You may have been an early convert, try it again as the file has since been fixed.

Well it's now a week since I updated the timing value to 16 in rc.net.
If anything the freezing has got worse. Guess I'll just have to byte the bullet and upgradefrom 1.5.x to 1.6.x
Still haven't archived off my "Now Viewing" stuff. Spend to much time watching TV/Tivo rather than administering it!
