How to add a STB to a Tivo

[johnhedge]

Hi List,

I've just bought a DG-TEC 0810 which according to Andrew requires the Wintel IRCode 30070, whatever they are. I get a 404 on the link to http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-bin/irdatabase.cgi.

I've searched the forum in vain. I've come close with http://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/view...edoGuidedSetup and http://oztivo.phoenixdigital.com/stb_browse.php but no definitive 'howto' as far as I can see.

Your help and advice will be much appreciated.

TIA

John

We moved servers many years ago. Where did you find the reference to minnie.tuhs.org?

Try http://www.oztivo.net/tivo-bin/irdatabase.cgi instead, or just redo Guided Setup and choose the wintel box from the menu.

Now I've had a look at the URL all is revealed http://oztivo.phoenixdigital.com/stb_browse.php

Thanks Peter

Ok, Thanks.

I'll get Cameron to update his site.

I hope this isn't dumb but after doing the setup again the Tivo and the STB are not in sync. When I change channel using the Tivo remote the Tivo responds but the TV/STB doesn't and the same happens when I use the STB remote the Tivo doesn't respond. I believe I followed the setup instructions to the letter but maybe not.

The STB will never control the TiVo, but should change channels on the STB.

Did you select the correct code? there is a DigiCrystal 8800 and a digicrystal 8800 code made by different people. You needed to select the first one to use 30070.

Is this your first STB used with TiVo? do you know how the IR blaster or wands work?

Ah! I followed "just redo Guided Setup and choose the wintel box from the menu".

I've started the setup again and got to the part where there's a Digicrystal Oztivo but only one of them. There's a DGTECH Oztivo before that but neither of them give me access to 30070, Peter.

I did set up a STB once but that was over 5 years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be. :-(

I'm travelling, so don't have a TiVo I can look at, but If you look at the list on http://www.oztivo.net/tivo-bin/irdatabase.cgi you will see that there are multiple boxes listed under the Wintel brand.

Once you select Wintel, you should be able to scroll though a list that either shows the model name or the code number of the box.

I changed my IR Blaster and rebooted the STB and its changing channels - yeh!

Thanks Peter.

Cool.
