When I telnet to my Tivo I've got 2 issues:

1) Each letter type appears twice like its the wrong term type
2) A lot of standard unix commands like 'ls' don't work, ie, not in the path. I'm using 'echo *' to get a dir listing but I'd prefer if 'ls' started to work. Usually these are unix shell built-ins so I'm a little confused.

I've not had proper time to investigate just wondered if this was a know problem.

Tivo UK Series 1, cachecard.


Thanks

Are you using Mac? telnet -K your.tivo.ip.address works on a mac to stop the local echo

I think they're generally in coreutils on most systems, but not for some reason on TiVo, however I found a ps.zip and ls.zip here (http://www.boygenius.co.uk/tivo/index.html) which seem to work really well.

Hope that helps,

Dave

Yes using a MAC, I'll try the above - thanks.
