So I have a HDR10-250 brand new, hacked by ptvupgrade with PTVNet on it. I tried running Tivotool 0.6.1 on my mac and it works fine, sees vserver and sees my shows. Now I need to make it so that all new shows be unscrambled (as I have no shows on the Tivo yet). So I only need to hack my tivoapp so that it unscrambles my shows from now on right ?

This is all that I should be doing ?

1.cp /tvbin/tivoapp /tvbin/tivoapp.orig

2.cd /tvbin
mv tivoapp tivoapp.tmp
cp tivoapp.tmp tivoapp
chmod 755 tivoapp

3.echo -ne "\x3C\x02\x00\x00" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=6984684

4.reboot

People who change their kernel etc do this in order to unscramble their existing shows if I understand it right ?

You'll want to get 6.3a, if you don't already have it. There are two methods listed at the top of this forum. In both, the correct procedure to disable scrambling is listed.

I saw that...

You are using
echo -ne "\x3C\x02\x00\x00" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=1602412
instead of
echo -ne "\x3C\x02\x00\x00" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=6984684
for unscrambling. But that's because the first one is is to be used with a 3.1.5f if I'm correct.

I want to do things one by one and first want to have it work, then I'll upgrade.
So I guess what I wrote above, should work. Right ?

I wrote that for 3.1.5f, but added a comment under it for 6.3a (what you wrote above is correct for 3.1.5f).

Cool, thanks.. I did it all.. updated with slice. Worked like a charm.

The only thing I didn't understand was the enhancement/ thing. I couldn't find the enhancement directory in order to re run the file that's in it. thanks.

I fixed the link above. For some reason, the wrong url got copied/pasted. The link above points to an extraction article.

I'm done with 6.3a, thanks, I'm just wondering about this:


Dont forget to run the /enhancements/var-symlinks.sh script after you reboot to re-establish your symlinks in /var.

I'm just wondering about this:

That will only be there if the Zipper or rbautch's enhancement script was previously used on the HR10-250. The verbose post I made didn't show that, since that installation didn't have either of those.

As a warning (until it's fixed), don't use TiVoWebPlus to set up a Season Pass with 6.3a; doing so could make your Now Playing List not work (clicking on a recording does nothing).

Yes, I had read that, thanks.

Thanks for helping everyone like that. It's great.
