Re: [OT] TiVo - Network enabled but still requires phone line attached.

["Nick Austin" <nick.w.austin@xxxxxxxxx>]

The ,#401 prefix was a trick that is only recognised but certain
versions of the TiVo software.  AFAIK, it doesn't work for UK TiVo's.

The normal way to change a UK TiVo is using the "nic_config_tivo"
utility on the Silicondust CD.  This is the CD supplied with each
Turbonet or Cachecard. Sometimes you will also find a copy of this
utility stored on the TiVo in the /sbin directory in which case it can
be run via telnet.

Otherwise you will have to transfer the TiVo hard drive to a PC, boot
the SiliconDreams CD and run the utility from the CD.

works, but I'm guessing thats because it uses some hardcoded number
instead. Currently has #,401 in the number and that works, but entering
123456 comes up with a "Couldn't connect message"
