No more showcase or promos on 7.1b - TCD24004

[ohpossum]

TCD24004 SAS2 - 7.1b - killhdinitrd'd 3.1.5 kernel - TivoApp patches for 30 sec skip and NoCSO (Thanks NutKase!) - Hacked up TWP1.1pre2.

Everything was working fine until...

As of 2 (or so) days ago, I no longer get any Showcase or "Yellow Star" promo info.

The only thing that catches my attention in the logs is:

and so on, till it gets to:

Jul 5 04:45:26 (none) comm[8527]: END of key file


I'm confident that I am getting showcase info -

I imagine that for reasons I don't know yet, I'm throwing away the keys it needs to decrypt Showcase and Promo data.

Any hints to where to go next would be greatly appreciated. Am I even on the right track or is "Discarding unknown key server cmd" not a big deal?


thanks!

I'm seeing this behaviour too: no showcases and the unknown "SIG" key server cmd.

The lack of showcase content may be related to this (http://customersupport.tivo.com/bulletinDetails.asp?id=618).

I first started getting the unknown "SIG" key server command on 2005/06/22 and it resulted in MRV failures. It appeared to be dropping the MRV_production keyring certificate. A bunch of other people with unhacked tivos reported the same MRV problems (TCF thread (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=239801)) and it was eventually fixed.

I'm reluctant to call support about the showcase issue, since my tivos are all hacked, and it isn't a big enough issue to me that I'm willing to put an unhacked drive in to see if it happens there too.

I could be wrong but I seem to have read on TCF that the only thing under the showcase would be the TV GUide SPOT (not that your missing anything there) also since they have been running the get a free Tivo promo I don't have any yellow stars.
