Disk image wanted

[Tcm2007]

Can anyone point me to a disk image or backup which won't require me to run Guided Setup after its installed?

Hi
Currently we use Freesat. Will such images be available post switch off? Also we currently have a very old TV - and therefore have 2.55 and not 2.55a. What if we change TV after switch off - don't we need 2.55a? And wasn't there already some problem updating to 2.55a?

Will all this be sorted? As freesat users is there something extra we should be doing to help?

it will be a different image after 31st May and will be one-size-fits-all so don't worry

You only need 2.5.5a for certain TVs - it's use otherwise is not recommended: viewtopic.php?p=8

This is an old image (for the official tivo service, good til 1st June) for those of you still needing the original images for testing, project work etc.
This image is 286Mb and will restore to any size drive from the standard 40Gb upwards.

fview255.bak (286Mb)

To restore this image to a 40Gb drive, use the following MFSTool command:

Code: Select all

mfstool restore -zi /mnt/dos/fview255.bak /dev/hdc

{assuming the image in stored and mounted on a dos partition at "/mnt/dos" and that the destination drive is connected to the Secondary IDE controller on the Master Connector}

If your restoring to a drive larger than 40Gb, you can use the usual "-xzpi" switch to expand the partitions and the "-s xxx" switch to create a new swap partition.
Obviously replace xxx on the last switch with a reasonable swap for the drive size (e.g. 400 would be plenty for a 500Gb). -r4 would probably be required for a drive like that too.

e.g:

Code: Select all

mfstool restore -xzpi -r4 -s400 /mnt/dos/fview255.bak /dev/hdc

Many thanks for the image Dave. I made the classic mistake of NOT checking my own backup image about 8/9 years ago.....when I didn't need it. Now I do need it, I've got an image that will only get about 80% of the way through the restore process. This will now keep me going until 1st June.

Also thank you to you and all the others for your work on the new EPG project. I imagine a lot of us diehards are keeping our fingers crossed.
