Dodgy drive?


Posted in ozTiVo by TerminalAddict - Jan 4, 2010

I’m experiencing some "banding" interference across the TV screen and believe it’s TiVo related. It differs depending upon what channel I’m viewing and seems to be getting worse, slowly. It’s been evident for about a week.

This is on FTA on a Thomson. It disappears if I disconnect and turn the TiVo off.

Could this indicate the deterioration, pending failure, of the Hard Drive?

Posted in ozTiVo by TerminalAddict - Jan 4, 2010

Hi,

Not sure who is maintaining the channel mappings …and hoping that someone still is.

Sky has moved the Rugby channel to Channel 37. Is it possible to remap this in the guide please ?

Thank you

TiVo Desktop codecs and wierdness


Posted in ozTiVo by TerminalAddict - Jan 4, 2010

Heres the story:
I have a movie that I *acquired*
I place it on my laptop (win7 ult x64) which runs tivo desktop, go to the tivo, click download etc, and the movie plays.

I have a fresh install of winXP (pro x86), which I installed tivo desktop on.
I copy the movie to the winXP box, go to the tivo, click download etc, and the movie plays .. with no sound

I suspect TiVo Desktop requires some codecs to re-encode as it sends the file to tivo, any ideas?

if all else fails, I guess I can reinstall my garage "server" with win7, but I’d really like to know what the real problem is here.

TiVo sales avenues


Posted in ozTiVo by TerminalAddict - Jan 3, 2010

I was told recently that Harvey Norman and others would have access to sell TiVo sometime early this year. The HN salesman reckoned prices would drop with non-exclusivity.

Anyone else heard anything?

Also about three of the HD units have sold recently on Trademe at about 1/2 to 2/3rds the new price, whereas the traders there that want near enough to Telecom’s price and in some cases more don’t seem to be successful in selling them.

Amazingly the good value ones were all won in competitions.

All the best for 2010!
