TiVo Tips

From KdjWiki

Note: These tips are for use on a hacked S1 tivo. It's all I have and as such all I can speak about!

Contents 1 Switch to 720x480 2 Give your TiVo a static IP 3 Disable Startup Animation 4 Secure (password protect) TivoWeb

Switch to 720x480

 [TiVo] # palmod_config

• 1 (tuner picture settings)
• 4 (screen width)
• 3 (720 pixels)
• 6 (return to main menu)
• 2 (a/v picture settings)
• 4 (screen width)
• 3 (720 pixels)
• 6 (return to main menu)
• 5 (save & exit)

Give your TiVo a static IP

 [TiVo] # nic_config_tivo

You should see:

 Current/New Configuration:
       timing setting = optimal
       mac address    = 00:0B:AD:10:10:10
       ip address     = dhcp
       ip subnet mask = dhcp
       ip gateway     = dhcp
       debug level    = off
       daily call     = network
 Options
       1: Change timing setting
       2: Change MAC address
       3: Change IP address/gateway
       4: Change debug logging option
       5: Change daily call option
       6: Dump log file
       0: Apply and exit

Select 3 to change IP

 New IP address [x.x.x.x dhcp]?

Enter in your desired IP address:

 New subnet mask [x.x.x.x]?

Enter in an appropriate subnet mask (such as 255.255.255.0)

 New gateway address [x.x.x.x]?

Enter in the gateway for your TiVo to use:
Then enter 0 to Apply and Exit
You will need to reboot your tivo for the changes to take effect.

Disable Startup Animation

 [TiVo] # bootpage -p /dev/hda
 root=/dev/hda4 TV_STD=PAL GS=0

add TIVO_DISABLE_INTERSTITIALS=1

 [TiVo] # bootpage -P 'root=/dev/hda4 TV_STD=PAL GS=0 TIVO_DISABLE_INTERSTITIALS=1' /dev/hda

Secure (password protect) TivoWeb

 [TiVo] # cd /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl
 [TiVo] # nano -w tivoweb.cfg

• UserName = {Secure Name}
• Password = {Secure Password}
