    UK Tivo on port 8000

    Does anyone have a uk tivo on port 8000 using the oztivo-pvr10uk-2.5.5 image?

    Is your clock showing the correct time? The (tivoapp) guide clock? Also check what the command line (system) clock is showing...

    How about port 80 uktivo users?

    What is the problem you are seeing? Have you got an NZ zoneinfo file (typically called /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland), and do you have a /etc/postcodezones file?

    I don't use an emulator but am happy to help track down the fault. I am not sure that the standard UK ntpdate command (created Feb 14 2002) handles timezones and this is what the emulator might be using?

    I use an rdate implementation to syncronise my TiVo's (UK-2.5.5 & US-3.0) once a week, and use a Daylight Savings script to accurately handle that adjustment.

    hey dude..

    yea well aiming to get this image ready for upload for us, however this has set me back a little, will just post what I asked on the mailing list

    Using the oztivo-pvr10uk-2.5.5 on our NZ emulator port 8000
    I seem to be having a time issue, got the postcode and zone files all setup
    right.
    Fixtivotime output

    [TiVo [p0] ~]# fixtivotime
    Our postcode is 02113. Found matching timezone Pacific/Auckland
    Offset 43200 for timezone NZST, daylight saving is 0
    Connecting to time server 207.126.98.204
    t was 3352791091 from server
    t is now 1143845491
    Time is 2006-03-31 22:51:31
    Time set to: Fri Mar 31 22:51:31 2006
    Have a nice day.

    Which works fine, however the tivo gui and guide is showing the time an
    hour ahead, i.e. Right now it's 11:53pm, It has also loaded guide onto the
    tivo an hour ahead of localtime. i.e. All shows start an hour later than
    scheduled in the guide..

    The date output on the command line shows correct time..
    Fri Mar 31 22:54:15 localtime 2006

    I cant seem to find a timzone config on the uk tivo, does it use a timezone?
    Currently /MFS/State doesn't have a LocationConfig like my Philips and
    Sony TiVo's

    Where is tivoapp getting the time an hour ahead?!

    I canno't use timezoneadj30.tcl as it complains it cannot find
    /MFS/State/LocationConfig
    Can't remember if the Uktivos even have this..

    Any ideas appreciated

    The version of ntpdate the oztivo image uses during the daily call on the emulator releases is different to the original file. Not sure how this affects v2.5.5, but you can get the correct file @ ntpdate, swap it in then run a daily call and see if that helps.

    I have attached a timezoneadjust.tcl file for the v2.5.1-2.5.5 versions. TimeZone and DaylightSavingsPolicy can be found under /MFS/Setup. They both need to be set to '0'. The attached file does this for you.

    Thompson thanks for reminding me, I entered those values in /MFS/Setup when I was using the uktivo on my emulator. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I did to solve it... Ackk too much to remember for this tivo oldtimer :P

    The rtc is correct, it's tivoapp that is displaying the wrong time.

    Adding TimeZone and DaylightSavingsPolicy via timezoneadjust.tcl fixed it.
    There will be a nzTiVo-Thompson image up soon..

    You can stop the menu bar flickering on an old 50Hz TV by increading the size of all the lines to 2 pixels. There is a package attached to this post that will replace the images in the MFS database with ones that do not suffer from "flickering".
