missig guide data?

I'm in the same boat so it's not just you.

Well, semi good to know :-)

For what it's worth, I would be happy to provide an alternate host site for the guide data as a back up (for manual downloads) if it would help in these situations (though it would appear that since the emulator has no data either then this may not help in this particular case...)

Cheers

You could try the development slice --- at your own risk!!!

See this thread ... there is also a development emulator at ... see this thread

The development effort is in need of testers.

I'm more than happy to test... if I can get it set up and working. I'm still pretty clueless at loading slices etc. I'm setting up for the dev emulator now but it says it will take an hour to clear the empty to do list and almost empty program data....

Do let us know how you go with it - sounds interesting!

I on the otherhand will be patient and wait for a fix to the current issue - which I hope is coming soonish :-)

I changed the IP in the config file and ran a daily call but it downloaded really fast and there's no data there. I got a nzTiVo welcome message but that seems to be it. Well i'm off to New World to get a TV Guide I guess.

What is your postcode set to ... looks like 02115 (saturn yes?) to me so the emulator hasn't advertised a slice to you. Can you confirm and I'll build a slice for that postcode.

Just looking at the slice file, (http://orac.caffeine.co.nz/nzdev.slice) it's about 1.42 meg which should have something contained within...
What about manually downloading it on your PC (mac?) and ftp'ing (binary mode) it across to your /tmp/ directory. then type
dbload30.tcl nzdev.slice

May work better...

When that's done, you may want to force an index by typing:
cd /var/hack/bin
tivosh force_index.tcl

Good luck.
