Any help would be appreciated as myTivo is currently the most expensive paper weight I have in the house.

Did you use the US image? or the OzTiVo US Image?
I have this funny feeling that if your TiVo contacted the US mothership, it might have asked your TiVo to be locked until it can be confirmed like a mobile phone PUK (Personal UnblocKing) Code
But this is only a guess.
