Update and further help needed:

I made the serial cable and even managed to get it connected via a USB to Serial Adapter and working from my old OS9 Macintosh !

I have reset DHCP via CacheCard and I can once again Telnet and TiVoWeb the box.

Now for my current problem....remember, this all stems from trying to change from port 80 to port 8000 emulator.

My current crop of problems:

TiVo (now running OzTiVo 1.6.2) starts up into initial Guided Setup screen, but when you press "Select" as instructed it takes you to the Green standard TiVo Central Screen...

TiVo has no guide data (having done a clear and delete data and to do list days ago)...A force of daily call sees it sit on "SettingUp" for ever, I will leave it overnight but not sure it will proceed.

I have no LiveTV, it has the no video signal blue screen message. (I have tried (from TiVoWeb now Plus) to change to PAL Mode (NO GS) and reboot but doesn't change anything

So in a nutshell, no data and no live TV.

Any ideas? without clear and delete everything !!
