View Full Version : Problems with Channel Logos

Having had to install a new HDD today due to the last drive failing with a GSOD (ah well, didn't really want to watch all those programs and films sitting on it anyway!), I've gone through a number of steps, but am having problems with Channel Logos...

The drive is from Tivo Heaven, but I don't think that makes a great difference; I do, however, suspect, I might simply be being too keen...

I have run the guided setup all the way through, so I now have programme data, and having let that complete, I have now reconfigured the TiVo to have net access and to make it's daily call via the network.

However, when I try to install some new Channel Logos, the TivoWeb v1.9.4 that shipped with the drive gives an error "Sorry, your LogoDataSet is empty", and TivoWebPlus v2.1 let's me upload the individual files, but then gives an internal server error about not being able to find the right DbName.

I've tried the loadlogos.tcl script, but that gives a similar error as well.

So, the question is: am I simply being too keen (for example, does the TiVo possibly sort out things like channel logos as part of an overnight tidy up job, and it simply hasn't set them up yet)? I don't think my new HDD has any logo images at all; do they download after the initial daily call, or if they aren't there, am I never going to get them working...?

Any advice welcome...

Ah, it would appear patience was the answer...

I forced another daily call, which pulled down things like the Channel Highlights, which seemed to set up the logo DB properly, and then all the tools, including the loadlogos.tcl script worked fine (this does seem the easiest and fastest way of doing it I have to say!).

A quick reboot later, and lots of nice shiny logos.

I'll leave this here so it can be found by the search engines, as all the solutions I found seemed to involve slice files and hacking things, and not simply waiting another day...

Thanks
