HMO/MRV Problem???

[Buddy7]

I have just finished zippering and running the enhancement script on my 2 HD DVR-40 boxes.

Everything seemed to go smoothly, both Tivos are wirelessly networked and accessible.

My problem is with the Now Playing lists:

1. While running the zipper on the second Tivo, it asked me if there were recordings I wanted to save, I said yes. Those recordings are now gone.

2. When I select the DVR option on the Now Playing list, it says:

"Programs cannot be transferred...because the DVR is not enabled for transfers..."

This is confusing since I assumed that HMO and MVR were activated by means of the enhancement script? Where did my old recordings go?

I am admidtedly new at this, and I am a slave to the instructions, which I believe I followed correctly, but don't seem to address these situations.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

1) Did you elect to restore an image during the zipper process?? If so, then you just overwrote everything on the drive.

2) Try running set_mrv_name_67.tcl on both tivos. I believe it's located in /hacks IIRC.
ie, cd /hacks
then, ./set_mrv_name_67.tcl "yourtivoname"
just replace "yourtivoname" with the obvious and drop the " marks.
If you have access to TivoWebPlus, you can also use the MRV tab at the top to name your tivo.
Reboot afterwards and MRV should work.

Thanks, I'll give those commands a try now.

Yes, I did elect to apply the image. Since it specifically asked if there were programs I wanted to keep, I thought that maybe that portion of the old drive would remain intact, but I guess not.

Just curious, why would the script ask if there were recordings I wanted to save if the new image wipes them out?

The thing is the zipper can be run without re-installing a new image. So this question makes sense in that scenario. When I first zippered my SD-DVR40, I just zippered the existing software on my box, and all my recordings were intact.
