Thanks for your reply, Peter.

I have fixed my problem and it is soo-ooo-ooo great to have my Tivo back up and running!

By trial and error I found that it was a TPG proxy issue (what else is new?)!

Life became a whole lot sweeter by using the lines:

echo "" >> /var/hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf
echo "proxyIP=proxy2.tpgi.com.au" >> /var/hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf
echo "proxyPort=3128" >> /var/hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf
echo "ntpIP=132.163.4.103" >> /var/hack/etc/emuProxyZA.conf

reboot & update. Viola.

It was the new proxy that made all the difference to me. I hope this helps other people with TPG woes!

Tivo on, people
