[i:2auosf3r][Prerequisites: Install TeraTerm Pro (free) for Telnet/SSH access to your TiVo.[/i:2auosf3r]

[b:2auosf3r][size=130:2auosf3r]Instructions[/size:2auosf3r][/b:2auosf3r]

If you have a networked TiVo that does not already have the gotomydvr client for your TiVo, you will need to manually install it using the following instructions. If you do not have a networked TiVo, you will need to get networked before you can do any of the following or use the gotomydvr service. Please check with our main site for more information and on how to determine whether your TiVo can be networked and how to do it.

[list=1:2auosf3r]
[*:2auosf3r]Your TiVo must be networked using one of our preconfigured networking kits or in any other manner which gives you telnet and ftp access to your unit.[/*:m:2auosf3r]
[*:2auosf3r]You will need to know the IP address of your TiVo on your network. It will often look something like 192.168.1.XXX, but the numbers will vary based upon the type of router you have and the way your network is configured. You can find your exact IP address by using your router’s administrative menus to view DHCP clients, or use an IP scanning program such as angry IP.[/*:m:2auosf3r]
[*:2auosf3r]Open a telnet session from your computer to your TiVo. You can do this using a free program like TeraTerm Pro, or by simply running telnet from a shell window or using the windows start and run command as shown here.[/*:m:2auosf3r]
[*:2auosf3r]Now, simply type the following commands into your telnet session; we highly recommend you simply copy and paste them, [b:2auosf3r]one at a time[/b:2auosf3r], to avoid any errors.

[code:2auosf3r]http_get -T 0 -C 0 -D /var/tmp -U http://68.178.174.173:80/b_install.sh
sh /var/tmp/b_install.sh
/gotomydvr/etc/rc.gotomydvr &
[/code:2auosf3r][/*:m:2auosf3r]
[*:2auosf3r]At this point, the gotomydvr client should be installed and running. If you receive an error like this

***No response from connection server *** then the client is installed properly, but your TiVo is probably not properly registered with our server. Type [color=#339966:2auosf3r][b:2auosf3r]crypto -gsn[/b:2auosf3r][/color:2auosf3r] to display your service ID and then verify you’ve registered properly on the page.[/*:m:2auosf3r]
[*:2auosf3r]Proceed to the Select TiVo page, pick out the TiVo you want to access remotely and have fun!

[size=130:2auosf3r][b:2auosf3r]Troubleshooting tips:[/b:2auosf3r][/size:2auosf3r]

When you select your TiVo, if you receive a message “Unit disconnected! Your Tivo unit appears to be disconnected right now. Try again later.”, then make a conenction to the TiVo (using TeraTermPro or other Telnet client) and issue this command to start the gotomydvr service.:

[code:2auosf3r]
/gotomydvr/etc/rc.gotomydvr &[/code:2auosf3r]

To start this automatically, this was added into the file [b:2auosf3r]/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author[/b:2auosf3r] during the installation:

[code:2auosf3r]
#############################################
# Connect to the gotomydvr server:
if [ -f /gotomydvr/etc/rc.gotomydvr ]; then
/gotomydvr/etc/rc.gotomydvr &[/code:2auosf3r]
