XplusZ Still getting service downloads

[1dave1]

I xtremed the unit and installed XplusZ. I followed the directions and selected the option I wanted like OPT-OUT.

I even rechecked it and it is active, I checked the system info screen and it shows that it went for 9 days then received a service download. Any ideas? Unless the opt-out isnt working.

Service downloads are not prevented by xPlusz or any other hack that I know of. The opt-out feature is the same as calling TiVo and asking that your viewing habits are not uploaded to their database if the phone is connected. If you want to prevent a service download from being processed then use the NOSDD feature. However, that will also prevent you from getting the showcases.

And NoSDD is not fool proof. A few sneak by every now and then.

If you are running NOSDD in xPlusz via CRON, and some get through, would that mean your time to recycle NOSDD is too long?

[DarkWing]

Nope, people have run it every minute of the hour and some still slip through.

IMO the best way to run via cron is:

28,29,58,59 * * * * /var/hack/nosdd.tcl > /dev/null

I just want to prevent the upgrade to 3.1 :)

Heres a couple things I found in the posts while searching:

rc.sysinit
code:------------------------------------------------------------------------
#if [ "$upgradesoftware" = false ]; then
# echo "Not upgrading software"
#else
# TODO... Find another way to do this...
#tivosh /etc/rc.d/finishInstall.tcl
#export -n EMERGENCY_REINSTALL
#fi--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By: rc3105

if you go into /tvlib/tcl/tv/mfslib.tcl and rename

proc FromMfs {fname fsid} { to

proc NotFromMfs {fname fsid} {

the tivo is no longer able to transfer slices from mfs into ext2 since it can't find the function.
---------------------------------------------

Any suggestions?
