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

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have used the nic_config_tivo and set the
TiVo to network rather than dial, but it still wants to use the phone
line ! Everything seems to be setup correctly, in fact I have my TiVo
emailing me daily with its status+programmings its going to record etc
(DailyMail hack) so I KNOW it can see and use the network correctly, it
just insists on using the phone line !



Arrgghh.. its driving me mad.





Marcus

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.

still 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"
