Thanks guys, that's solved it. :)
Just for the record, my Tivo had multiple ntpdates , but not the symlink to fixtime.cron. It does now though thanks to your help.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 22 Oct 13 20:33 /bin/ntpdate -> /hack/bin /fixtime.cron
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 59415 Aug 1 07:51 /bin/ntpdate.new
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 1410 Aug 1 07:03 /bin/ntpdate.old
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 299512 May 30 2002 /bin/ntpdate.orig
Ntpdate now works, and the clock setting done during a call ( which I can see from the Tclient log uses ntpdate) also works.
owe you both one, thanks again.

Good to hear.

I also have this problem, i.e. Tivo thinks it is 13 hours behind. I have checked that the symlink to /hack/bin/fixtine.cron is as it should be but ntpdate still resets my clock to 13 hours behind. I have edited my /etc/postcodezones to include 02113 and 02115 as shown below:
# A list of TiVo postcodes and the timezones that they represent
# Two columns, separated by one tab only.
#
02113 Pacific/Auckland
02115 Pacific/Auckland
00800 Australia/Darwin
02000 Australia/Sydney
02600 Australia/Sydney
03000 Australia/Melbourne
04000 Australia/Brisbane
05000 Australia/Adelaide
06000 Australia/Perth
07000 Australia/Hobart
Any other ideas?
Cheers,
Rick

After digging through some older posts on the subject, I discovered that what was missing was a time zone information file in the directory /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific. I had to create the directory Pacific
# mkdir /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific
Then I found the relevant time zone file on one of my Linux boxes - for me on a Fedora Core 3 machine it was here:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland
Logged in to the Linux box I changed directory to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific
$ cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific
then FTP'd it to my Tivo from the Linux box, thus:
$ ftp tivo.local
enter blank username and password then
ftp>cd /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific
ftp> binary
ftp> put Auckland
ftp>bye
back in my Telnet session on the Tivo, changed the timezone file to read/write/execute for everyone
# chmod 777 /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland
Then ran fixtivotime and it appears to be sorted!
# fixtivotime
Our postcode is 02113. Found matching timezone Pacific/Auckland
Offset 46800 for timezone NZDT, daylight saving is 1
