I moved a good working PTVnet, (tweaked with bells and whistles) harddrive from one DTivo directly to another and I got a "hardware problem" upon booting, I ended up running a "clear and delete everything" which was the only thing that eliminated that error. At that point I was receiving channels but to enable the NPL it directs me to make a test call but when I try to use the "internet" option it doesn't allow that flexibility as an option. When I go to "setup then the phone option it goes straight to phone line to make a test call request. I don't want to use the phone to make the test call. I followed the PTVnet procedures for
"Configuring to make calls using Internet connection instead of phoneline"
and used telnet to change the "NETWORK_CALL" so it is now "on" (which clearly indicates that I have PTVnet version 1.1 or newer). I rebooted but the Network option still doesn't appear. I then ran the untweak script, did the above again with no difference.
I seem to recall from prior forum browsing that there is a way to bypass this problem.
I really don't want to start over from the very beginning as I've got this drive working great now.
