Hi all,
I know this is an old thread, however it is the closest description to the issues I have. I dont seem to be able to receive any data downloads onto my TIVO. I have performed several of the suggestions in various FAQ's and forums.
Mine is a Tivo Philips Series 1 that was handed down to me from a mate who has upgraded to the latest one. This unit had been laying idle for several months and when I fired it up, the TV Guide data was well out of date.
Everything seems to work OK on it with the exception that I cannot get the TV Guide info to load from oztivo.net. The build is 1.6.2 and the Tivo config files all seem to have the correct information according to what has been suggested to resolve such issues, but clearly I'm missing something.
I'm connecting through my ISP Bigpond Cable connection via a router and local pings work fine in all directions. ie., Using Telnet, Tivo to Router (192.168.1.254), & Cable Modem (192.168.100.1). In addition to this, I can connect via my browser to the Tivo using TivoWebPlus (ver 1.3.1), so I feel fairly confident that there is nothing blocking the local network data flow.
To ensure that there are no blockers to the Tivo unit, I have set my Tivo up through my router's DMZ, so it has direct access onto the web. Pings to time server (132.163.4.103) and oztivo (65.49.60.197) confirm that I can reach outside destinations OK. However both 'ntupdate' and any attempts to retrieve TV Guides from the same IP's, fail.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards
Peter C

Here are the results from ntupdate and the ping to the IP's above.
