Another Time Setting question
I have read the many posts about how to change the TiVo time, but I got very confused. My question is simple. I am in Israel and don't care about the program guide. I just want to set the time to my local time (GMT+2). Is there a simple way to do it (that does not reset after the daily call)?
I did stumble on a text file in the Tivo a while ago, where there was a timezone parameter that I changed from 7 to 8 (OZ tivo image), and this seems to have moved me back one hour. I can't seem to find this file any more. Anybody knows?
Thanks,
Gideon
Time is still not changing
Thanks.
No, it was not the timezoneadj30.tcl.
However, I tried to run that. For some reason it does not take the number I put in from the screen (I did a "puts" and the variable is empty. I am using Putty in telnet mode). So I just set the tzNew variable to what I wanted within the script (9 according to the instructions).
This produced a change of one hour for some reason. I tried a couple of other values (e.g. 1), and I got different times. However, the Tivo did its daily call at some point, and all the work was gone. It was back to the original Sydney time.
Here is the output from the fixtivotime program
Our postcode is 02000. Found matching timezone Australia/Sydney
Offset 39600 for timezone EST, daylight saving is 1
Connecting to time server 207.126.98.204
t was 3319700069 from server
t is now 1110750869
Time is 2005-03-13 21:54:29
Time set to: Sun Mar 13 21:54:29 2005
Have a nice day.
Time set to: Sun Mar 13 21:54:30 2005
Have a nice day.
Perhaps there is a simple way to create another timezone file? Or maybe someone made files for every timezone around the globe? Or maybe there is an elegant way to change the offset?
It is so frustrating that such a simple issue is made so complex, and I am wasting hours on it.
Thanks,
Gideon.

Updated Israel zoneinfo file
The proposed law agreed upon by the Knesset Interior Committee a month ago (2005-02-14) is that, for 2005 and beyond, DST starts at 02:00 the last Friday before April 2nd (i.e. the last Friday in March or April 1st itself if it falls on a Friday) and ends at 02:00 on the Saturday night before the fast of Yom Kippur.
The attached "Israel" zoneinfo file reflects these changes. The following are an extract of the next three years adjustments:
Code:
