Introduction

Welcome to the section which describes how to update your nlTiVO-image to release 1.6.

The OzTiVo-community created scripts to upgrade the ozTiVo images to release 1.6. The OzTiVo-scripts have been adjusted for usage in The Netherlands. The scripts are tested succesfully on TiVo's with an nlTiVo-image and they should also work on 1.4 and 1.5 OzTiVo-images. The script will upgrade the current software to version 1.6.2. A lot of features have been added in the new release.

To see what's new in this release see the Releasenotes for release 1.6

Upgrade-procedure

Warning: Before updating, beware that (although the procedure has been tested on multiple TiVo's) things can go wrong. There are no guarantees that things will work flawlessly. Worst case you will have to reimage your harddrive and you will lose all recordings and settings. Therefore, make sure you have a backup of all important things (recordings/settings).

You need to Telnet to your TiVo to perform the upgrade. The following command-line commands show you how to fetch the upgrade script and execute it: 

cd /tmp
wget http://78.40.196.160/tivo-static/images/nlTiVo-updates/upgrade_nltivo
      # At this point, you can read the upgrade_nltivo file
rw
nano upgrade_nltivo

Replace hydra.demon.nl with 78.40.196.160

Replace nltivo.dyndns.org with 78.40.196.160 (in both places) 

sh upgrade_nltivo


During the setup-process you will be asked several questions, mainly network-related. For these network-related questions, you can probably use the same values as in the original nltivo.conf file (/etc/nltivo.conf). If you are uncertain, just ask via the mailinglist.

Change what is being started on boot

Default values are stored in dflt_sysinit.conf.

To control what services are started on boot, create a file called /etc/sysinit.conf, copy the relevant "enable" lines from /etc/dflt_sysinit.conf into /etc/sysinit.conf, and change them to be "YES" or "NO" as required.

Future updates

Future updates can be initialized automatically using the following key-combination on your TiVo (if you leave trickey enabled): "Clear, 9, 2, Clear"

Or via telnet, typing: 

update_nltivo -y
