modifying 'received' channel list causes hang

[xafwodahs]

My DirecTivo is a Phillips DSR7000.

I have an oval, 3 sat dish, with both Sat In 1 and Sat In 2 used.

I followed the upgrade procedure at Weethet Tivo 4.x (http://www.weethet.nl/english/tivo_dtv2_os4hackrid.php). The prodecure went fine; I followed all the instructions and got all the expected results for each step.

My newly modified tivo powers up and I can watch livetv and record. However, after I go to change my 'Channels You Receive' list, when I am done selecting channels and hit 'Select', my Tivo says 'Please Wait' and hangs there indefinitely. I waited at least 10 minutes with no change. I had to power cycle the tivo. This has happened 2 out of 2 times.

Note: at satellite setup, my Tivo complains because it can't see the B Satellite - perhaps my dish is pointed exactly right, but I don't care about B satellite channels at this time. (I get ~90% signal strength on A Satellite).

Any ideas as to this apparent hang?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

fyi- I let the unit sit for a day before I tried anything again. On the third attempt, I was able to edit the channel lists and everything seems ok. weird.

Any ideas as to this apparent hang?I think it's because you tried it when the unit was freshly hacked.
Pretty sure it needs to build a database before you can do things like that.

You'll encounter issues if you try and restore season passes through TWP too soon after a fresh build as well.
