The last mailing list posting was by me about 20 minutes ago. If you are not getting messages then you may have a problem with your mail getting through, but is it not associated with your TiVo failing.

Was there any other file you edited?

Can you attach a copy of your /var/log/tclient log here.

Peter.

I have attached the file.
No, I didn't edit any other file.
Also , I have gone through all the network diagnostics that you have in the Wiki and it all worked with flying colours.

Ok, your DialConfig setting seems to be missing.

Go into TiVoWeb(Plus)'s MFS module, and click on State, then PhoneConfig.

Can you please copy the details from that page and paste here.

Peter.

Did you perhaps also try editing tclient.conf?

Peter.

**JustinD** · 11-10-2008, 06:57 AM

No -I only edited oztivo.conf as it was mentioned in this thread and I was having problems with the guide and failed calls. If the tivo is working its best left well alone (in my opinion). That said, last night I did try and edit resolv.conf as per a post in the mailing group, putting in some other name servers (I think thats what it did)

eg. echo nameserver ..../etc/resolv.conf

But otherwise nothing. No point in trying to edit them if I have no clue, and I only tried resolv.conf since I am a bit desperate. As I said, I can do a passable monkey impression

**petestrash** · 11-10-2008, 06:17 PM

Can you post your /etc/tclient.conf file (cat /etc/tclient.conf).

Peter.

**JustinD** · 11-10-2008, 08:30 PM

I have included two files. One is the tclient.conf.orig and another is tclient.conf.oztivo

**petestrash** · 12-10-2008, 06:08 PM

Ok, Then for some reason you no longer have the needed tclient.conf file.

Try these commands one after the other.

Code:

rw
cp /etc/tclient.conf-oztivo /etc/tclient.conf
ro
reboot

Then try a daily call again.

Peter.

thanks. it seems to be downloading and indexing the guilde data now.

I guess when I did ftp'd the other day something must have happened

Anyway, seems to work now. thanks!

Also, now I have got my serial connection thingy setup if I run into further issues at some point. Also, I know now to only use Joe or something similar for edits
