Getting the ozTivo UK 2.5.5 image to work in NZ

[tarx]

Hi all,

I have been using the OzTivo R1.3 and R1.4 against the NZ emulator on my UK Tivo for a while now. I am interested in getting the UK 2.5.5 image running in NZ for the following reasons: improved stability, full PAL menus and RGB input and output via the scart sockets.

I spent a good few hours in the weekend try to get the following UK image up and running in NZ
ftp://minnie.tuhs.org/TiVo/images/pv...release1.3beta

I got the image installed on the HD which involved burning a boot CD and adding the pvr10uk.255.oztivo_emulator.release1.3beta image to it and then using mfsrestore to load the image onto a test HD.

I got my Tivo networked (after configuration) to work with my TurboNet card.
I then thought sweet, I will try doing a guided setup with the NZ emulator.

I changed the tclient.conf and the AddrUK.itcl files to use the NZ emulator address. This is when things got a bit challenging. I entered the postcode 02115 (Saturn Cable), the Tivo dialled up via the TurboNet and successfully downloaded the settings and then I got the screen saying “No service providers in you area”.

Has anyone got the pvr10uk.255.oztivo_emulator.release1.3beta image to work with the NZ emulator or do they know if this is possible? Any info on this is appreciated.

I get the feeling from my research, that this might not be possible and they way to get 2.5.5 to work in NZ is to manually setup a source, add channels and then use loadguide (see following links). Can someone confirm if this is the case?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
