Check your capitalization on that file - if it's nowshowing.tcl
instead of NowShowing.tcl, that _can_ make a difference; my Winders2k
ftp client lowercases everything sent over - that tripped me up
once...

When you do that, is the GUI on the client side still running? If the
GUI is running, it'll hold that socket open on the server [Tivo] -
that tripped me up as well. Make sure the GUI is gone for good, then
restart the server app, then start the GUI - that's what did the
trick for me, anyway...

Again, thanks to jdiner I can finally dub off more than one show at a
time! -- I'll be updating my webpage sometime this weekend with my
new methods... so stay posted!

HTH,
