Just a few basic suggestions from my experience with DVAClient:

-I think it is best you be on the latest version of Roku OS (1.5.18)

-When you edit the DVAClient.roku script to insert your ReplayTV IP names or
addresses, make sure you remove the # at the beginning of ONE of the
REPLAYLIST= lines.

-I put the exact contents of Phil's ZIP file on a network share, edited
DVAClient.roku and it worked for me.  I am using it in the mode where it
connects directly to my two Replay 5000 units.

QUESTION FOR PHIL:

- Can you have a DVArchive host and two Replay units on the REPLAYLIST?

- Lip sync is not very good, even after pressing "ROTATE".  I suspect this
is a problem with the current version of CinemaSix.

- KUDOS to you Phil, this is a great addition to the HD1K!
