Bad form to reply to myself, but whatever...

After a bit more inspection, I think it's a proxy issue of some kind - whether the problem is on my tivo or with TPG I have no idea though.

the lines in my tclient log that give me this impression are:
Code:
Mar 23 01:01:19 (none) comm[145]: CommUtil: connection to host 127.0.0.1, port 8000, err 0x0
Mar 23 01:01:19 (none) comm[145]: Uploading HTTP Header for modLog of /var/log/svclog: POST /tivo-service/mlog.cgi HTTP/1.0^M Content-Length: 12073^M ^M
Mar 23 01:04:16 (none) comm[145]: XferRqst timeout waiting to read
Now I think the ^M's shouldn't be there and timeout is never good, but I have no idea how to fix these. Someone in another thread said something about using a public proxy server. Can anyone give me any info on how to do this?

Thanks again everybody.
