    image blinking in tivo

    I just bought a tivo from this forum and with the help of the great manuals here I got it working but now I have a problem. The problem is that most of the time the image of the tivo blinks in a very small fractionn of the second. So although it is wachable the blink is annoying specially when the camera is chaniging of position(it looks like going frame by frame by frame) or while waching the break news bar menu of CNN
    Do you have any suggestion why is this happening to me?
    here is my tivo:

    Philips Series 1 PTV-300 DVR
    - Running ozTivo Image (HDRX12-20050524)
    - 60GB Drive
    - PAL MOD (can pick up AUS free to air)
    - A/V MOD
    - Network / Cache Card with 512MB cache
    - 2xRemote Controls
    - 2xHD chassie (one in use on 60GB drive)
    - Cables (including the Tivo serial connection cable)


    could it have to do with the hard drive, with the image, the cache card?
    should I re-image to the latest image?

    any suggestion would be greatly appreciated

    It sounds like you are still in guided setup mode. The effect is usually called "jitter" in the various tutorials.

    If a couple of reboots haven't fixed it, you may need to set it manually.

    The easiest way to do this is though tivoweb. Type xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/pal_ntsc/PAL into a browser, where the xxx's are the IP address of your TiVo.

    You should get a screen with a message that tells you the "TiVo set to PAL mode. Please reboot for change to take effect".

    Reboot now and it should be fixed.
