Hello,

I recently received a TWP replacement disk from PTVupgrade for my DTivo HR10-250, installed it and everything was working great on my wired network. I tried elseed and it worked once, so I moved on to try NCID. I installed that and ran it from the BASH prompts fine. I tried to get Hackman to recognize add it to its lists, but couldn't. So, I edited the rc.sysinit.author file to add these lines:
ncidd
tivocid &

That's the last time I talked to my DTivo. After re-boot, it seems to "talk" continuously (link/act lite on USB adapter and router are on solid). No response to ping, telnet, ftp or TWP.

Is there any way to stop it long enough to restore the original file? Will serial port still work for BASH? Are there any serial port solutions for the Macintosh?

Yes, I am a newbie to TWP, but I have searched PTVupgrade, TivoCommunity and DealDataBase forums and haven't found answers to the above Q's.

Any help (explicit instructions or links to where the answers are) would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,
