Skip30 for S1 Version 3.1.0b

[Tiros]

Ok, heres how to patch tivoapp to default to 30 second skip on.
FOR SERIES ONE 3.1.0b ONLY! NOT FOR SERIES 2!
I tested with 3.1.0b-02-1-001 with DSR6000.

From a telnet session at bash type:

cd /tvbin
switcherstart -k
/*Wait for bash to return, might take a couple secs */
mount -o remount,rw /
/*Create backup of tivoapp in case you mess up */
cp tivoapp tivoapp.orig
/*Type next one VERY CAREFULLY and double check before you hit enter */
dd if=tivoapp of=tivoapp bs=1 skip=172 seek=4190988 count=1 conv=notrunc
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot

Based on the MuscleNerd method for earlier version. Props to him!

This worked great on two of my SAT-T60's but on the third one I get "text file busy" when I do the DD command, I tried several times and I always get the same thing. Any ideas on how to get get it to work ?

Thanks,
Kevin

I got it to work on my third SAT-T60 by doing the following:

cd /tvbin
switcherstart -k
/*Wait for bash to return, might take a couple secs */
mount -o remount,rw /
/*Create backup of tivoapp in case you mess up */
cp tivoapp tivoapp.orig
cp tivoapp tivoapp.new
/*Type next one VERY CAREFULLY and double check before you hit enter */
dd if=tivoapp.new of=tivoapp.new bs=1 skip=172 seek=4190988 count=1 conv=notrunc
mv tivoapp.new tivoapp
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot
