Can't Connect To Emulator!!

**user_error** · 22-03-2008, 07:30 AM

OK, so recently I noticed that my tivo has been recording ABC1 shows thinking they are ABC2 shows. Turned out that channels "2" and "21" are both ABC1 on my settop box. I thought that maybe a way to fix this would be to redo the guided setup, hopefully replacing the channel lineup with a correct one that has ABC2 as channel 22 (I'm in Sydney, BTW).

So I started up in PAL guided setup mode and began going through the menus until I reached the "First Setup Call" screen. Every time it tries to connect it just seems to try for a couple of minutes, then says "Failed. Service unreachable".

If I reboot and start in normal mode, there are no channels available anymore. I can still play back things from my Now Showing list though.

When I telnet to the tivo, it is able to ping remote servers (even using DNS to ping www.abc.net.au), as well as wget files using both ports 8000 and 80. This is what has me baffled, as it seems to be connected to the internet fine.

So now I figure that I have four problems to solve:

1: How can I get the First Setup Call to be able to work so I can get my channels back and my tivo once again becomes more than just an expensive paperweight?

2: How can I get the Daily calls to work normally? I didn't mention this before but recently the tivo doesn't seem to have been able to get the guide data automatically over the network. I have been manually wget'ting the slices and running the manual slice upload script. I suspect that this problem will be fixed as well if I manage to get the First Setup Call to work.

3: My original problem; how can I get the tivo to know to use channel 22 for ABC2? This might also be fixed when I can redo the guided setup successfully.

And last but not least, problem number 4: How can I ever repay the kind soul that helps me solve my problems?

BTW I'm on ADSL2+ with TPG, using a Billion 5300G router.

Here's the output from all the commands I could think of running, and I have also attached my /var/log/tclient file (zipped):

I will probably also post this question to the mailing list, in case someone on that will be able to answer my question...
