Can you post your new tclient.conf file.

Peter.

Sorry, I meant your new tclient log to see why it is failing now.

Peter.

[MelissaH]

No worries. It is attached.

[petestrash]

Looks like your TiVo has defaulted back to dial up.

Run this command to set it back to network:

dbsetx /State/PhoneConfig DialPrefix ',#401'

Then reboot and try another call.

If you still get the number error run this command and let me know the result.

dbget /State/PhoneConfig DialPrefix

Peter.

[MelissaH]

I still get the Failed. No dial-in number chosen eror

[TiVo [p0] ~]# dbsetx /State/PhoneConfig DialPrefix ',#401'
/State/PhoneConfig DialPrefix val was: ,#401
/State/PhoneConfig DialPrefix set to : ,#401
[TiVo [p0] ~]# reboot
[TiVo [p0] ~]# dbget /State/PhoneConfig DialPrefix
,#401
[TiVo [p0] ~]#

Hi there,
Wondering if there is anything else i can do to fix my tivo? Throwing out of a window is a possibility! If anyone wants to buy it before it goes airborne, please let me know

[Skolink]

If I were you I would just reimage and start afresh, setting everything you need to with the boot disk menus.

[petestrash]

Sorry, I missed your earlier reply.

I think I would agree with Skolink.

There is only so much I can do in a forum, and at this stage cannot think of what else to try as it is not making much sense.

Download the current installer ISO. When using it select the update command for the installer before completing the setup steps.

Then once the TiVo is imaged run the update_oztivo routine to bring you up to date.

Following these steps should bypass the Proxy your ISP uses without any further input from you, like you have needed in the past.

Peter.

[Darren King]

Yep, I concur with reimaging. Actually I would have suggested that long ago (I take the easy way out!) but thought the suggestions Peter offered would amount to something. Now that they have not worked (very rare indeed) then a reimage is the way to go.
