Okay, I opened the unit up, and first made sure nothing was up against the tuner. (There wasn't.)

Then, I touched one of the internal patch cables back at the splitter, and poof, the reception is...

Has anyone encountered this? After moving to a new house a few months ago, I finally got around to mounting an off-air antenna for my hr10-250. On atsc tuner 1, I get practically no signal (it...

I had an old Samsung HD receiver (non-DVR), and when I moved last month, D* offered to swap it out for a H20 for free, or an HR20/21 for $99. I took them up on it (and kept my HR10 active).

So it...

Well, whether it was a DirecTV magic touch or not, the installer showed up yesterday afternoon. So I'm finally with TV again. The install wasn't too bad. He did a reasonable job of hiding the...

I had an install (I've moved) scheduled for this morning. After a couple hours of waiting, I called DirecTV. They said that according to the work order, the installer tried to contact us to...

Yeah, given the choice, I'd have a similar setup. But the house was built 11 years ago. All the wiring is home-run to a room in the basement. No conduit. No nylon pulls. In fact, it's probably...

Well, I just moved into a nice two-story house, that has single-wire homeruns to most rooms. So while it's not impossible to run second lines, it's going to be painful and/or a bit pricey. A...

So the SWM will recognize an older style transponder request, and act accordingly? So in the very off-chance that I managed to snag a single-wire, I'd still be able to plug in my tivos?
...

Can you use an HR10-250 (or a DVR2) with a SWM? Is there a dongle to split a single wire feed from a SWM into two?

I just built my own copy of busybox to include getty. I figure if I wanted it bad enough to build my own binary, someone else might want it too. Any chance of including it in your next build?
...

Here's a full-featured copy of the ps command (as opposed to the busybox version). It's the same version as most linux distros come with.

It also includes a bare-bones passwd file (goes in /etc)...

I should have checked my logs. Turns out I had a corrupt show in MFS that was causing a HandleDataChanged assertion any time the tivo tried to touch it.

I just got an HR10-250 last week. I activated it, and it made its daily call and installed 6.3e.

Over the past two days, I've been getting a number of spurious reboots. What I'm wondering is,...

It appears the values aren't quite correct for some of our tivoapps. I pulled a virgin copy from MFS to make sure, and got the same error.

Just apply the changes from this post. Works like a...

I've been having the exact same problem. Even more odd (to me at least), it only seems to effect certain channels. DIY=bad signal, FOOD=good, MSNBC=bad signal, etc. I wondered if it had to do with...

I use a Linksys wrt54g wireless router with replacement firmware. Then you can use it as a wireless bridge (much like the game adapter, but cheaper and better reception).

You load dd-wrt...

I've done this, and even modified the code slightly at one point to customize how it sorts. I end up with something like:
[F] Blake's 7 (52)
[F] Doctor Who (728)
[F] Ghost in the Shell (26)
[F]...

Here's a patch that fixes the problem. In BeaconManger.cc, add the following lines to BeaconManager::Broadcast() after the line
" int sock = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0 );"

...

Okay, it almost works. If you've got multiple IP addresses, you can configure one tivoserver to bind to one address, and one to bind to another.

The problem: the code that sends the "beacon" to...

Does your PC have more than one IP address? I'm guessing this would be the issue (though I could be wrong).

Assuming that tivoserver (like many unix-type programs) can be told to bind to a...

You would have had to add a line such as

/bin/bash < /dev/ttyS2 > /dev/ttyS2 &
somewhere in your rc file when you hacked your tivo.

If you don't think you added a line like this, then you...

Nope. They're just redundant.

And again, nope. On 6.2, the system automatically launches dhclient, so your ifconfig gets "overwritten" by dhclient. The solution is to use netconfig.tcl to...

You were spot-on! Fixed my network, and my folders are happy again. :)

I recently replaced the drive in one of my 6.2 S2 dtivos (old one failed). I went with a blank image.

Now that I've got a bit of stuff on it, I've noticed that when viewing the Now Showing list,...

1) Open a new tab and browse to "about:config"
2) Find ui.key.chromeAccess.
3) Double-click it, and change it from 4 to 5.
4) Find ui.key.contentAccess. (right below)
5) Double-click it, and...
