Hi
My 2 tivos are getting stuck on setting clock during the call home.
I have been doing some reading and it seems to be caused by the time servers used.
I use a dial up connection and have gone over my monthly time allowance because it gets stuck.
I am using V3.0r1 image.
Is there something I have to do on my side to get it working again?
Thanks for any help.

can you try

ntpdate -b -v
ntpdate -b -v 132.163.4.103
from the command line, then post the results here.

I get :

[TiVo [S3] /bin]# Time set to: Thu Sep 6 22:32:32 2007
Have a nice day.
Usage: /tvbin/settime [YYYYMMDDhhmm[ss]] [-rtc]

From what I can see on my Tivo ntpdate in /bin is a link to /hack/bin/fixtime.cron.

I think things were different back in release 1.0
It was working until very recently.

OK
I fixed it by replacing ntpdate with a new version from the Oztivo files section.
I think I might redo my tivos with the latest version..... or maybe not, it's working again so I might not touch it.
But I might get a network card.
Thanks
