How to you set a channel on TiVo?

[email68]

I'm making an event and I want to go to a specific channel. When I choose TiVo channel for the action, the drop down menu for channels is blank. Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks.

I reported this issue multiple times to HomeSeer, but it's still not fixed. In the meantime, I added an UltraTivo3 HSPI Set Channel action that you can use to set the channel via an event. Please download and install UltraTivo3 HSPI version 3.0.5994.19480 to use this new event action.

Thanks for the workaround. Too bad HS won't fix their bugs.

Good news on the Set Channel Action!
How can I do this from a script?

I have tried using the TiVo Channel Device in a CapiControl mechanism but I get a Tivo rejected the command due to a 'CH_FAILED_MISSING_CHANNEL'. Even though I know the channel is valid.

Must be a way (on HS3)!

Thanks.

There is a way to do this using the "UltraTivo3: Set Channel" action from the pulldown rather than Control a device.
