6.3e / 6.4a problems on SD DirecTV TiVo systems - suggested workarounds

[sgtmaj27]

Thank you for the reply. I feel better about the software version/ service ID difference now.

As for the other, I tried various edits of the rc.sysinit.author file until I realized that all commands listed after the dhclient were not being run. As soon as I commented out the following portion of the file:

if [ -f /init/ptv_flags/DHCP_ON ]; then
/ptvupgrade/bin/dhcp_enable.ptv
fi

then everything ran as they should. I then set a static IP and telnet, ftp, TivoWebPlus all are working. Fakecall runs at startup and as scheduled in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file.

Hopefully my "fix" did not cause a problem for me further on down the road.

I'm trying to "learn" as I go and at my age that is a job in and of itself......

Again thanks for your help!

I have read the post on patching 6.3d on my HR10-250 so I will be able to use MRV, etc.
My question is this. My unit has run fine for about 3 years now but has 6.3b. How do I upgrade from this version to 6.3d so I can apply the patch for MRV. I have Tivo Desktop 2.9 installed but it does not recognize the movies I have so I am assuming 6.3d is needed and then the patch applied.
