Please post your /etc/postcodezones file... type:-

cat /etc/postcodezones

You need to check two things.

1. There is only one tab between the postcode and timezone

2. The file is in unix format (that there are no ^M's) ...

[TiVo [p1] ~]# cat /etc/postcodezones
# A list of TiVo postcodes and the timezones that they represent
# Two columns, separated by one tab only.
#
00800 Australia/Darwin
02000 Australia/Sydney
02600 Australia/Sydney
03000 Australia/Melbourne
04000 Australia/Brisbane
05000 Australia/Adelaide
06000 Australia/Perth
07000 Australia/Hobart

Code:

02113^IPacific/Auckland$

[TiVo [p1] ~]# cat -et /etc/postcodezones
# A list of TiVo postcodes and the timezones that they represent$
# Two columns, separated by one tab only.$

00800^IAustralia/Darwin$

02600^IAustralia/Sydney$
03000^IAustralia/Melbourne$
04000^IAustralia/Brisbane$
05000^IAustralia/Adelaide$
06000^IAustralia/Perth$
07000^IAustralia/Hobart$
[TiVo [p1] ~]#

Same goes for you Muzza, please add the NZ specific lines and post your results...

This is in the NZ images, but perhaps not in the earlier AU images..

This is my file and the standard file I've included in the NZ images.

Ensure you use 1 tab between the zone and the 'Pacific/Auckland'

Code:

---

# A list of TiVo postcodes and the timezones that they represent
# Two columns, separated by one tab only.
#
00800  Australia/Darwin
02000  Australia/Sydney
02600  Australia/Sydney
03000  Australia/Melbourne
04000  Australia/Brisbane
05000  Australia/Adelaide
06000  Australia/Perth
07000  Australia/Hobart
64000  Pacific/Auckland
 
# New Zealand
02112  Pacific/Auckland
02113  Pacific/Auckland
02114  Pacific/Auckland
02115  Pacific/Auckland
02116  Pacific/Auckland

---

Set that up and post results thanks.

Sorry again for being dumb, again, but how do "I set that up"? :confused:

Edit the file with vi or joe whichever you feel comfortable in. If your've never used vi, use joe.

joe /etc/postcodezones

Add the missing lines (type em in).

EDIT:Alternatively, grab the master postcodezones file from orac ftp://orac.caffeine.co.nz/install/postcodezones in the install directory of the ftp site, then ftp it directly to your tivo. This is the file used in the NZ customised images.

And the ntpdate output just use the -v flag

ntpdate -v 210.48.107.133

is sufficient
