    Picture/System Freezing

    Current config: OzTivo 1.5, Philips Series1

    Come home to find Tivo frozen. The picture is static & there is no sound. Web interface won't connect. Can't even telent into the Tivo. Hard reboot and all is well. It is almost a daily occurance at the moment.

    This problem used to happen very very occasionaly, and I just lived with it. It seems to have become more frequet sisnce I mooved to the new EPG/emmulator location. This may be just a coincidence.

    Any ideas.

    Geoff.

    Usually early signs of hard drive failure if it is getting more frequent.

    Try another drive and see if the problem goes away.

    What Peter says is correct but I will also add that if you are using a Turbonet (or equivalent) please ensure you have the line "timing=16" in the oztivo.conf file located in the /etc directory. If it only says "timing=3" then change it to 16, save and reboot.

    Tivowebplus

    My friends and I had the same problem with nzTiVo image 1.5. Disabling tivoweb(plus) in rc.sysinit.author fixed the problem. Reimaging with OztiVo 1.6 also fixes the problem.

    Can I upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 readily without losing my programs currently stored in "showing now"

    I couldn't see any reference to "timing" in my oztivo.conf file. Please refer to uploaded version.

    I think the timing issue and disabling TWP are related.

    If they adjust the timing, they should be able to use TWP.

    Also worth upgrading to the latest v1.3.1 or v2.1 TWP release.

    Can you post your etc/rc.d/rc.net I think timing was set there in 1.5.

    How to Upgrade OzTiVo Image shows how to do the upgrade. Hundreds have used it with only a couple having major issues. But as with all the advice offered if it breaks you get to own all the pieces :-)

    But certainly worth doing as future updates will be painless.

    Peter,

    1) In the short term please see attached rc.net file

    2) In the long term I will apply the upgrade and hopefully keep everthing in one piece.

    Thanks,

    Geoff.

    Yep the timing is set there as a fallback. Just change timing=3 to timing=16.
