Alternate Guide Data Source
It is possible to use XMLTV Guide Data with WiRNS. Please visit this link as a starting point.
Configure your ReplayTV to work with WiRNS
These steps are for the 4000 and 5000 level ReplayTV Models
- On each of your your ReplayTV units, go to Menu, Setup, Network and Input Settings, Change Network
- If your Replay is set to automatically get its network settings, you must change this to Manual. Otherwise, select Change Manual Settings
- Configure your ReplayTV to use a static IP address. For assistance, please read Using Static IP Addresses on Private Networks
- Set Netmask to 255.255.255.0
- The Gateway value should remain unchanged (probably your router IP address)
- Set DNS Server 1 to your WiRNS IP address
- Set DNS Server 2 to your WiRNS IP address
- Select Continue, your ReplayTV will attempt to verify the network settings. If the settings do not verify, you must correct the problem before continuing. Either you have entered incorrect settings, or WiRNS is not running or able to use port 80, or there is a firewall or other application blocking the communication.
- Select Continue, your ReplayTV will attempt to verify the network settings. If the settings do not verify, you must correct the problem before continuing. Either you have entered incorrect settings, or WiRNS is not running or able to use port 80, or there is a firewall or other application blocking the communication.
Edit your Replay Configurations in WiRNS.
From the WiRNS Menu, Select Configuration->Replays
- If, in the previous step, you changed the IP Address of any Replay, Delete those Replays and then Scan for Replays
- If any or all of your Replays are not listed, you can try to Scan for Replays again, or, failing that, add the Replay manually
- For each Replay listed, click the Edit button. (This is not necessary for the WiRNS Replay).
This will display the Edit Replay screen:
- Using the Lineup dropdowns, select your Lineup(s). Click Update.
- Once you have edited the lineups for all of your Replays, try Tools->Current Channel Guide. You should now have Channel Guide Data in WiRNS.
PLEASE NOTE: The above screen does not tell your Replay how to handle the channel lineups, it is meant to reflect how your Replay handles them. So, for example, looking at the above screen shot, if Replay decids to offset the Bell listing by 1000 and use the raw channel numbers for Shaw, you would need to reverse those two entries on this screen.
Configure your ReplayTV lineups
- On each of your your ReplayTV units, go to Menu , Setup , Network and Input Settings, Change Zip Code
- Change your Zip Code to any valid Zip Code in your time zone. This will cause your ReplayTV to connect to WiRNS and download your WiRNS Lineups.
- Once the ReplayTV has completed its update, you will be asked to set up your connections. After selecting the connection type, you will be asked for the service provider. Select your desired lineup - it will have 'WiRNS' in the name
- If multiple Schedules Direct line ups are available here is where selecting the correct items is important. For example, if using a cable adapter box choose the correct setting "analog" or "digital" to match the correct listings defined in Schedules Direct
- NOTE If you have previously used a custom IR control code, remember to choose the same code again here (unless the cable box has been changed too). If a PACE DTA-DC50x unit from Comcast is used a custom code is needed, typically the code for this box is 1982.
- If this or the previous step failed, change your Zip Code once more and continue
- Complete the Inputs setup
- When you return to the Setup Summary, select Keep all settings
