Now gents...

shall we try that again... ;o)


Welcome Finethen, congrats on your new toy... beware its addictive ( addictivo?) theres no going back!

As a newbie I too am having the same struggles and have been stirred back into action to get my tivo running properly as a result of your ( & number6's) post.

I have had similar experiences and would be happy to contibute to writing a definitive version of how to setup for FTA - Timmy has created the framework to do this with the wiki site so I think its just a question of working together to populate the document.

Number6 and Thomson have really helped me with FTA tech stuff and hopefully they are willing to continue (gently) leading us down the road to tivo nirvana...

I do think that its a two way street. Its up to us (newbies) to gently extract the tech info and _crystalise_ it down to a useable format. And for the tech-heads to be willing to translate - Useable doesn't equal literal, technically correct (#6) doesn't make it useful (read any microsoft help file).

If we can build the collective knowledge into an actionable format then the entry point for every new-newbie is progressively escalated, releasing the tech-heads from dumb question patrol and onto more extending work.

I'm a simple fella and need simple instructions :~)
but usually simple instructions are a lot harder to do than just lots of words.

meanwhile what a great community !

YEEEHAAA - GO TIVO ....
