Dudes... why not use S-Video via the SCART on your Motorola? I do - Sky should supply the required cable for free.Originally Posted by gabiwabi
Sorry guys,
The following information will hopefully help to get your TiVo changing your Motorola STB's channels. I sorted it for myself a couple of weeks ago but have been doing other TiVo setup since, so always meant to post this but didn't - apologies.
EDIT: When going through guided set-up choose any Motorola decoder box, none work in my experience, but that doesn't matter because the instructions below will sort it all out.
I have a Motorola Sky STB and I also had problems with that MotorolaDTH325-4.tcl script - in it's current state on Timmy's website it will not work without further instruction from the authors or Timmy.
So get crazy and do what I did...
There are probably lots of ways to skin this cat (like knowing a little more TCL - which I don't), but...
To run it (at the command prompt while telnet connected to your TiVo) like...
TiVo # ./MotorolaDTH325-4.tcl
Firstly ftp Timmy's file in binary to your TiVo and edit it as below, or use my attached file.
Edits to Timmy's file:
EDIT - (do the edits on the TiVo since the file is in unix CR/LF format)
It needs the following line inserted as the first line in the file:
#!/tvbin/tivosh
Then it needs the following line inserted as the last line of the file:
motorola
But you also need to edit it to deal with an exisiting CableBoxCodeNum. I used 20001 (I don't know if that's a good choice, butt hay - it goes).
The lines I changed to do this now look like:
puts "Setting Motorola codes for TiVo 20001..."
set tivoir [db $db open /Component/Ir/TivoFormat/20001]
So you are now using an edited version of Timmy's file or my one.
Run the following (where you ftp'd the .tcl file to):
TiVo # chmod 700 MotorolaDTH325-4.tcl
then enter the TiVo shell:
TiVo # tivosh
Then at the TiVo shell run:
% mls /
Look at the output and find the FsId value corresponding to the line where Name = 'Setup'. Mine is 2274, so when I use 2274 you replace that with your value.
Then find the value of Source:
% dumpobj 2274
For me this gives:
Source = 2274/12
Take your source value and run like:
% dbset 2274/12 CableBoxCodeNum 20001
Then get out of the TiVo shell:
% exit
Yay, then run your .tcl script:
TiVo # ./MotorolaDTH325-4.tcl
REBOOT your TiVo!!! and good luck...
Sean.
PS
If I've been confusing just flame me (post a friendly query) - I've got 2 kids under 3 1/2 running around like banshees at the moment - I'll concentrate more tonight.
EDIT:
If you are having trouble running the script then maybe you didn't ftp it to your TiVo in binary mode.
You can check this by running the following command - if you have ^M at the end of every line then you didn't ftp in binary:
TiVo # cat -vet MotorolaDTH325-4.tcl
You can fix this by redoing the ftp in binary or running the following command:
TiVo # dos2unix MotorolaDTH325-4.tcl

Meat, beer, ... what more could a kid ask for? Of course... a TiVo! What were my parents thinking?

Sean,
Thanks very much for the info.
Unfortunately for me, I have already swapped the decoder.
All the best,
Gabi
Great - this works just fine. Thanks!!
Has anyone had experiance with a Motorola DTH335-4. I have tried the 325-4 codes available with no luck, and have captured my own too (currently trying different frequencies with no luck just yet!)
Ideas?
