I have a Sony SAT-T60.  I used instantcake for Series 1 to upgrade to two new drives.  I also installed Cache Card.  (Instantcake made it easy).

 I can view the contents of my Tivo with FTP from my networked PC.

 When I use PuTTY (I am using port 23) and Telnet, I get "Network Error: connection refused".

I have not been able to find anything about this problem in the forums.

I will appreciate any help.

 Thank you

Julio

Release Notes - InstantCake for Series1 DirecTV TiVo Units

Philips DSR6000, DSR6000R, DSR6000R1
Sony SAT-T60

Release notes for this product are now maintained in our knowledgebase.

Product Specific Notes

5/14/06

This product has been updated for units which have received the 3.5.0 software update from DirecTV. It includes current TurboNet and CacheCard drivers as well as updated LBA48 support. If you have a version of InstantCake dated prior to 5/14/06 and would like to upgrade, you will need to purchase a new copy of the software.

InstantCake for your Series1 DirecTiVo unit includes LBA48 support, large swap, and has been tested to run on drives as large as 500GB. InstantCake will build the equivalent of DVRupgrade NetReady replacement drive kits; these are drives with TurboNet and CacheCard drivers installed, as well as bash serial access enabled. You can purchase a TurboNet or CacheCard separately and do the software configuration yourself without reinstalling the drive in a PC. More information regarding NetReady can be found here. Note that if you are using an external modem plugged into your serial port, you may need to disable BASH access to prevent conflicts. We recommend the use of TurboNet cards instead of external modems. Also note that InstantCake does not support TiVoNet adapters; only TurboNet and CacheCard adapters.

 Thanks for the quick response. 

I used the latest InstantCake which I downloaded a couple of days ago.

 InstantCake for Series1 DirecTV TiVo Units (download)
[SKU: SW-ICAKE-S1DT-DL-011]

I did not get any errors through out the process, it was straight forward.

The DHCP Server shows the Tivo with the name ptvupgrade-tivo and I can ping the tivo too.  I can view the contents with FTP.  What I cannot do is use telnet when I use PuTTY.

More information regarding NetReady can be found here.

You need to follow that link and follow the steps to unlock the unit.

Thank you very much for all your help.  I got it unlocked and I can connect with telnet.  Now on to upgrade my second Tivo, which is a Series 2.

Thank you agian,
