First we will try just cleaning the file you edited.

You will need to telnet into your TiVo and do the following:

• run the command "rw" to make the disk writeable;
• enter the command dos2unix /etc/oztivo.conf
• run the command "ro" to make the disk read-only;
• reboot the box. and see if it is working again.

Did you move any other files between Word and your TiVo?

If you still have issues attach the /etc/oztivo.conf file here for me to look at.

Thanks Peter,
I tried that and still can't connect, this is what i got when i followed your instructions:

[TiVo [S3] ~]# dos2unix /etc/oztivo.confdos2unix /etc/oztivo.conf
dos2unix: converting file /etc/oztivo.conf to UNIX format ...
dos2unix: problems renaming './u2dtmpa00494' to '/etc/oztivo.conf'
output file remains in './u2dtmpa00494'
dos2unix: problems converting file /etc/oztivo.conf

I didn't change or move anything else.

[petestrash]

Did you run the rw first command?

Please post your oztivo.conf file here.

Peter.

[MelissaH]

Yes i ran RW first. I'm sorry but you'll have to tell me how to access the file...

[petestrash]

Just to confirm RW will not work. It must be lower case rw.

It that is not the issue, how did you originally grab it so you could edit it in word?

Can you not use FTP to move the file to your PC?

Peter.

[MelissaH]

I tried it again and this is what i got:

[TiVo [S3] ~]# rwrw
File system is now READ/WRITE.
[TiVo [S3] ~]# dos2unix /etc/oztivo.confdos2unix /etc/oztivo.conf
dos2unix: converting file /etc/oztivo.conf to UNIX format ...
dos2unix: problems converting file /etc/oztivo.conf
[TiVo [S3] ~]# rroo
File system is now READ ONLY.
[TiVo [S3] ~]# [TiVo [S3] ~]#

I rebooted and i still can't connect (other than via serial cable and hyperterm).

When i opened the file originally in Word i used ftp://192../etc and got in there from there.

Thanks.

[petestrash]

Ok, looks like the file has word formatting, not just linefeeds.

I'm very rusty at file transfer via serial and I am not at home to test it, but I think the following command should work.

sz /etc/oztivo.conf

Peter.

[MelissaH]

This is what i got:
[TiVo [S3] ~]# sz /etc/oztivo.confsz /etc/oztivo.conf

BB0BB00000000
Can't open any requested files.
BB0BB[TiVo [S3] ~]#

A window also popped up saying, "transfer cancelled by remote system'

[Skolink]

After entering the sz command did you go the appropriate menu in your serial console program and select 'receive file'>'zmodem' ?

conversely if you want to get a file off your TiVo, type rz (enter) then select 'send file' > 'zmodem' from the menu in your terminal program. If it doesn't have any such menus I would suggest using Tera Term Pro 3.1.3 (free).

[MelissaH]

Hi again,
I tried sz /etc/oztivo.conf again and then used the receive file'>'zmodem menu option and the window popped up and timed out with no result.

I am open to more instructions, other options and also prepared to sell the darn thing or drop out of a window!

thx
m.
