RE: TiVo

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks again Doogie and Kevin,

I rebooted the TiVo via telnet and I can now use the whole web interface
double yippee!

Just a couple more questions if I may please,

How do I make the web start automatically?

And how do I get it to use the web interface to update?
I have a cable modem but I am not bothered if I still have to use the phone
as I have a PBX and it is a free phone number anyway.

I am using ISA Server and Proxy is used for IE browsing.

I use DigiGuide on my workstation that does update but installed it onto my
server but it cannot connect to the web so I do think my ISA is not setup
properly but I am at a loss as to how to set it up correctly if it is
wrong!....in fact I have not been able to access my server from the outside
world for months but every time someone suggests to check something I do
and it is okay....always something more to learn....

Thanks,

B.

Oh dear... :( You get the front page but when you click any of the links
it fails? I wonder if it's a proxy related issue.... are you using ISA 
with proxy settings in your browser, or are you using it as a 
transparent proxy? You might need to say your Tivo shouldn't be accessed
via the proxy server.

Did you run TivoWeb with the console option then close the telnet 
session or anything...?

Yeah, it's generally always OK to reboot.... you'll have to telnet in 
and run
/var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/tivoweb
though, until you've modified it to startup all the time.

Main reboot options.... pull the plug, type reboot in a telnet session,
or on the Tivo Messages & Setup/ System Reset/ Restart the Recorder

I normally type reboot in a telnet session because it's easier!

These are Linux bash shell commands (and ftp commands) that we've been 
using, because your Tivo runs Linux. :)
