Thanks Darren
Yes it explains a lot BUT as a complete novice at hacking a TIVO i first of all need to know how to use my tivoweb connection to get to a bash prompt and then some simple instructions how to run and use palmod_config.

The only options for the channels on guided setup was Hobart Analogue FTA so that is the first problem.
if i can learn how to get into my Tivo and change that then i might get it sorted.

Hope some kind soul will help me

Mike
