    If you are using the OzTiVo image there is no need to change anything. Minnie is the emulator for ALL of Australia which is default set on the install image, and it picks your lineup based on the answers you give to the questions during Guided Setup as per the online setup guide on the OzTiVo website. If you are getting connection failures then I would be looking at network hardware faults, network blockages (firewall, perhaps?) or something your ISP has done that is refusing connection.

    Sorry, but I'm not a software person. What I said in my above post stands in that if you are getting a failed connection when trying it is something network related. The rest I can't help with.

    Also you cannot ping Minnie. It is set up not to respond to pings. You should be able to ping your TiVo however with no reference to any ports, just your internal network IP address it is using.

    Did you choose "Antenna" as your source?

    emuProxy2 has something to do with transparent proxy and your ISP and this proves a clue. Petestrash is the better person to help and he usually jumps on later in the evening. I'll pre-empt that he will probably ask you to post your tclient.log which should give some more insight.

    Edit: nevermind... the cavalry has arrived (thanks Peter!)

    What you have posted is correct for tclient.conf (if using emuProxy2).

    As Darren has already suggested, force a dailycall (using DSL) and then post the first 20-30 lines from tclient.log or otclient.log so we can see what is happening, and where it is failing.

    also make sure your rc.sysinit.author still has:
    emuProxy2 -s 131.244.9.101 &

    In the emuproxy section.
