Software 3.1.1e vs 6.2 vs 7.2

capdaddy · 11-22-2005, 01:50 PM

I own a Directv Rec /w Tivo for the last year and have been very happy. (Except that my phone service is Vonage). I recently upgraded my hard drive using instacake (awesome). I would love to upgrade my Tivo using Galleon which looks awesome but from reading into it you need software version 7.2. I have 3.1.1.e on mine now. What is the main differance between 3.1 vs 6.2 7.2. I am just confused on what each software version will do when it comes to upgrading my tivo. Will PTV Upgrade ever come out with an upgrade to 7.2. Any thoughts would be appreciated..........

3.1.1e slower, no folders, can record music channels via wishlists
6.2 faster, folders & can be hacked for most of what 7.2 does..."zipper" (uh, hem)
7.2 current for SA Tivos, has MRV & Tivoweb (can do recording over the internet).

Thanks for the insight i just found a sight to Weethet to upgrade to version 4.0 any thoughts on this software upgrade...

If you have a standard-def Series 2 DTiVo, ignore 4.0. Let it upgrade itself to 6.2 and then hack if you want.

HD-DTiVos are stuck at 3.1.5.

capdaddy · 11-23-2005, 06:30 AM

Cant get the download to 6.2 because i have vonage for my phone line....

What about WeetHet ising to get 4.0?

Whats the differance between 4.0 and 6.2?

Gunnyman · 11-23-2005, 06:36 AM

4.0 was a kludge to get working. 6.2 was DESIGNED for DTivos and is just as easy to hack.

capdaddy · 11-23-2005, 08:08 AM

Hey Gunnyman with the hacked version of 6.2 that will give me the options for music and videos?

morgantown · 11-23-2005, 08:48 AM

...take a look at...(uh, hem) "the zipper" ^^^^^^^^^^.

capdaddy · 11-23-2005, 09:05 AM

Thanks

capdaddy · 11-23-2005, 09:25 AM

One more stupid question. I have upgraded a drive to 3.1.1e
If I go to instacake and and download 6.1 will that work on a brand new hard drive...

Gunnyman · 11-23-2005, 09:53 AM

yes except you mean 6.2

capdaddy · 11-23-2005, 10:18 AM

Yes! Sorry just so exited!!!!

Gunnyman · 11-23-2005, 10:21 AM

heheheh
Getting your Dtivo to do what it was designed to do can have that affect on people

classicsat · 11-23-2005, 10:30 AM

Yuo can likely upgrade to 6.2 with Serial PPP.

capdaddy · 11-23-2005, 11:06 AM

Tried that but have had no luck with my laptap using a serial to usb adapter!

I think Instacake is the best way!

Wish me luck!

I have 6.2 dtv and had the music & pictures working with desktop 2.1 version running. I updated to desktop 2.2 and can not get the music and pictures working. Tivo says the pc server for the music and pictures is not running- I have check and updated the ip address and still nothing. Any suggestions??? Tks

Gunnyman · 11-28-2005, 12:38 PM

look in your XP services and make sure tivobeacon is running.

road3682 · 11-28-2005, 12:55 PM

Take a trip to the tivo underground and post there, you will likely get responses...

Gunnyman · 11-28-2005, 05:18 PM

actually Home Media Option section might be better.

Sorry for the dumb question but can I upgrade a Sony T60 DTivo to 6.2?
Would it be the same 6.2 that is on my Hughes HDVR2?

Galleon began where JavaHMO left off. JavaHMO is still very useable - here are the screenshots.

JavaHMO is now a 'dead' project, but people still do some updates to the modules, e.g. the movie theater showtime module quit working after 31-Oct-05 due to a data format change from the provider, but someone in the user community updated the movies module and made it available to the JavaHMO users via the JavaHMO forum.

Thus far, I've continued to use JavaHMO to paint weather reports/forecasts, organize my MP3s (by year, artitist, song tile, etc.), show pictures, specific web pages/images and movie showtimes to my 3 hacked DTivos running V6.2.

Yup it's dead, but spoke to it's author recently and he isn't against any of the folks that develope for DTIVO continuing with support via this. Not sure if anyone one is interested, but worth a look for more support.

Does someone have or can point me to a working movie plug-in. I have searched but can not find the working one mentioned in this post.

Thanks

If you are referring to the movie listing in JavaHMO, there is a "fixed" one at DDB.

Thanks,

Someone was nice enough to email me a working copy.

Thanks!!!

satsu · 05-31-2006, 12:43 AM

I have searched high and low-in DDB and elsewhere-but I also cannot find this JavaHMO "movie listing fix." Is it possible to post a link directly to the file/forum at DDB? TIA!

stevel · 05-31-2006, 09:08 AM

Linking to DDB is not permitted here. You should ask there.
