Daily Call help please

[Brillo]

since febuary 28 my Hughes unit is showing that i have not succesfully made the daily call. i thought this would not be an issue because i get everything nightly though SAT download. It turning out not to be the case. every time i try to make the call manually it shouws failure. i'm not connected by phone, but that is not the problem. I not sure but the day i install the no ppv is same day last call was succesful. So they must be tied together somehow.
PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME.

Sounds like when you installed the no PPV you might have put the lines in wrong or something. I am guessing that the no PPV line you put in to the "TClient-lib.itcl" is not correct. Remove it for the time being. Force a call and see if it works now. If it does work then re-look at the line that your trying to put in. I have seen this before.

Hi there,

I, too, have seen this. I didn't put noppv.tcl into the TClient-lib.itcl file to avoid the mess (the file is just too big to bother with).

I put noppv into /tvbin/fixsub.tcl with this line:
exec /var/hack/noppv.tcl 7 > /var/hack/noppv.out &

This line goes into the "try" block before the closing brace ("}").

That will cause it to run noppv in it's own process (not affecting the daily call time), funneling the output to a text file (noppv.out) so I can confirm that it worked, and when it last worked, whenever I want.

This is working great for me.

Hope this helps,
