I'll probably be shot.. but moving to Aus with my TIVO! Any ideas?

[tatch76]

Is it a simple process to change my TIVO to work in Sydney - or will I need to re-image (which I'd really rather avoid!). I'm a bit of a novice so any pointers would be appreciated!

It all depends on what image you are currently running and which TiVo you have.

A few more details would help.

Last night I upgraded to the latest version of 1.6 - I'm using a Philips from the States. Previous version I was running was 1.4 which I installed a couple years ago.

I had hoped my upgrade to 1.6 would have defaulted everything back to Australia, but I'm afraid that wasn't the case. Guided won't let me finish as area code "002" is not recognised...

Any quick changes that could solve my issue?

Thanks!

How did you upgrade?

But chances are all you need to do is a clear and delete everything first.

I ran the scripts from the wiki:

cd /tmp
wget http://65.49.60.197/oztivofiles/updates/upgrade_oztivo
# At this point, you can read the upgrade_oztivo file
sh upgrade_oztivo.

I have now found, however, that I can no longer access the TIVO via TWP or Telnet, etc. Not sure if this is related to the upgrade, or the fact that I assigned a static IP afterwards by running the nic_config_tivo script.

I get the Static IP address displayed following a reboot, but can't ping the address or connect to it in any way.

Any hope?

Were you running the NZ 1.4 image before you upgraded or the OzTiVo version?

Did you also run the update_oztivo -y command as suggested in the wiki?

Do you have a serial cable for the TiVo so you can connect to it now?

Peter.

I was running the 1.4 NZ image, and don't believe I ran the update_oztivo -y - it was about 1 am so I was a bit slow...

I'll try to track down a serial cable if that would help -

[petestrash]

No worries, the instructions on the OzTiVo site are meant for Australian TiVo's only and those instructions may not apply to OzTiVo based images used in other countries.

I am not sure what NZ customisations you may have had on your image. So it may be a bit of a chore to now find the bits that are broken and get access back to your box.

I think the best thing to do is just start from fresh with the current ISO.

I did regain access tonight, ran the script you referenced, but still get stuck on the guided setup with the "002" area code not recgonised error - any last guesses before scrapping everything?

[petestrash]

Did you run a clear and delete everything from the menu's?

What is in your /etc/oztivo.conf file, because chances are it may still be set for NZ emulator?

Peter.
