TIVO DIRECTTV PAY PER VIEW DATA

Tried Installing DTV PPV update.zip and update2.zip

With Update.zip:
if I run updatedtv.tcl, it connects and downloads fine. When it goes to execute runupdate.tcl, it adds data for like 2 channels, then crashes the tivo and it reboots. Here is a cut of the update process with update.zip while runupdate.tcl is running:

With Update2.zip
if I run updatedtv.tcl, it connects and downloads fine. When it goes to execute runupdate.tcl, it goes all the way through the channels, sends me a TiVO message saying it updated sucessfully, BUT, skips all the channels, here is a cut of the update process using update2.zip:

Update2 is for the 2.x software, make sure you are using the
correct one for your software version. Try launching with
a daily call instead of manually. See if ti crashes your machine
then.

Since I'm running 1.3, I got rid of all the update2.zip files.
Doesn't seem to run automatically with daily update: here is what my TClient file looks like:

Ok, next update, after redoing the TClient file, it now runs when I invoke
%TClient -t411, it calls out, downloads showlist.
But the story ends the same with the TiVO rebooting.
Just so you know the specs on my Tivo:
Its a Sony SVR-2000
2 30GB OEM TiVo Hard drives [lct 10s] (60GB Total)
32MB RAM
DirectTV Hookup

Change TClient to have this at the end. It is was worked
for me on a SVR-2000.

puts "TClient: failed to close $tclientResFile: $res"
}

source /var/hack/ppv/updatedtv.tcl
sync
exit 0

Also, I just notcied the RAM. Is it a natural 32 megs?
That could be a culprit.

As I mentioned in my last post, I got it to auto-execute by just putting source...... at the end of TClient before sync. The problem still remains, even after nightly call, the DTV update causes the Tivo to crash and reboot. HELP!

Ok, latest update, I went into the Memory config and set it so it only addresses 16MB, the runupdate.tcl ran MUCH slower, but the output was still the same:

FINAL UPDATE: Problem Fixed, Cause Undetermined.... Steps taken: Backed up /var/hack, and /tvbin/TClient... Reimaged A Drive from virgin backup, reblessed B drive, Restored /var/hack and /tvbin/TClient, reset permissions, works great now... This further proved the 32MB ram upgrade was not the issue.

Running japgs update2 scripts with 1.3 software is a mistake. I know, I did the same thing to my 1.3 and got the exact symptoms you describe. A pity, because I had the original scripts working OK until I decided to grab the latest and greatest. "If it ain't broke...keep trying."

runupdate.tcl is different for the 2.0 libs, running it on 1.3 fails and seems to orphan some items in /MyGuide/Programs. Once that happens executing runupdate.tcl from the original update on jpags site just fails early into the listing and reboots Tivo just as your traces show. I tried to clear out /MyGuide as suggested by jpags but it didn't work. He has a script that might clear this data out that he is going to send me, if that doesn't work I will likely do a factory reset. I'd be surprised if that doesn't re-initialize MFS, but I hate to lose some dubbings I did.

Update for anyone who also ran update2 on a 1.3 Tivo and scrogged their guide db:

The cleanup script jpags sent me seemed to clean up a bunch of things but runupdate.tcl still crashed partway through the showlist after cleaning. So I re-ran guided setup setting it to "antenna", then ran it again setting it back to "cable+satellite". After it was finished the guide db was reinitialized and the PPV update scripts worked again. Thanks to jpags for all his help and for publishing his scripts.

If anyone has their PPV update start failing I noticed the IP for www.geocities.com in updatedtv.tcl is not working tonite, don't know if that is temporary. I just used another IP found by using nslookup and I'm good to go.
