    Smile Just moved from NZ, trying to setup TiVo

    Hi guys, I have emigrated to Australia and now living in Caboolture, brought my Tivo with me.
    Doing the Australia setup but it does not like the area code 4510, cannot find any channels

    Anyone local, I have Boost mobile with unlimited calls

    Any helpful ideas are welcome

    We recommend using the area code for the capital city in your state/territory (in your case, 4000), but I don't know if changing that will be enough to fix your issue with not finding channels.

    When you say "cannot find any channels" do you mean your channel list is empty or you can't see anything broadcast on the screen when you ask for Live TV or you don't have any guide data?
    Have you checked the antenna cable by plugging it into a regular TV instead of your TiVo?
    Have you tried the suggestions in Messages & Settings > Troubleshooting?
    You could also check that System Information says that your Dial-in Configuration Code is set to 140, and check whether your network connection is working.

    It will be. I get plenty of people asking for help forgetting you need to use the CBD postcode and reporting the TiVo doesn?t find any channels.

    Yeeeehaaaaah 119 channels, thanks very much guys, taking quite a while to download at only 12mbs over my phone hotspot
    but all looking good. The 4000 cracked it.
    Thanks again

    Yes, taking quite a while is understating it. Only up to 57% loaded, dare not try and break in. See you guys Sunday at this rate

    Also fresh off the boat here in QLD from NZ. My Tivo along with all my other household items still needs to ship. I cant wait to get it, I am currently using an Android Mibox with all the Aussie freeview apps but its total torture sitting through all of those adverts.

    How you finding it so far Owen? I'm in Redland bay.
