Tivo & NTL after new CR3 update

[NtlRebelReborn]

Just had the new CR3 update and can't get my Tivo to change the channels over on the NTL box now.

Anybody else having this problem. Or has anybody managed to fix this problem. Before anyone asks, I'm living in Swansea SA1.

Cheers.

You need to use a different set of IR codes, and luckily Gary Sargent has developed a new set for the CR3 update. You will need to change to codes PACE 20020 by going to...

Messages And Setup -> Recorder And Phone Setup -> Set-Top Box Control

See this thread on the Tivo Community forums.

TiVo not changing channels must have given you heart failure!

Andy what a star you are.

Nearly had heart failure....................with all the past probs with Ntl I thought this was a wind up.

I did try to change the codes but not to no avail.

Tried the codes again then discovered I had knocked the ir blaster out of it's position.

it doesn't seem to be as good as the old code though. Maybe I'll just have to put up with that.

Cheers mate.

You shouldn't need to change the TiVo codes as TiVo have changed them for you.

The new codes required for the new software - work with the old software as well.

NTL approached the TiVo contacts well in advanced to ensure TiVo was ready to handle the software when it was rolled-out.

Isn't this only the case if you were using codes 20020 already? In my case, I was using codes 20025 as these were more reliable.

Just had the same problem, I was using 20025 before the upgrade and I noticed today that Tivo thought it was recording Futurama on Sky 1 when it was actually recording the boat race on BBC 1, changed to 20020 and it now changes channel consistently albeit a little slower than before. Thanks to Andy C for the info.
