    Can you sum your ntpdate and post the result here, better check just in case

    type:-

    sum /bin/ntpdate

    try ntpdate -v -v -v -s 210.48.107.133
    or ntpdate -vvvs 210.48.107.133
    if that works make the one you use ntpdate -s 210.48.107.133

    There are 2 version of ntpdate.

    The one where this works:
    ntpdate -ddd 127.0.0.1
    31 May 10:47:41 ntpdate[399]: ntpdate 3-5.93 Fri Apr 5 00:15:50 PST 2002 (1)
    which uses UDP port 123

    and the version which is the one you appear to have
    which uses TCP port 37

    For those that are interested, the
    UDP 123 version of ntp date is based on this:
    http://www.opensource.apple.com/darw...date/ntpdate.c

    The TCP 37 source is here:

    FWIW on my system using the current (port37) OzTiVo ntpdate I get the following

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# /bin/ntpdate -v -v -v -s 210.48.107.133
    /bin/ntpdate: invalid option -- s
    Our postcode is 06000. Found matching timezone Australia/Perth
    Offset 28800 for timezone WST, daylight saving is 0
    Connecting to time server 210.48.107.133
    Setting the local time to Wed May 31 11:21:09 2006
    gmtime gives    106/4/31 11:21:09  [3]
    sending to clock 06/05/31 11:21:09  [3]
    [TiVo [p0] ~]#
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# /bin/ntpdate -vvvs 210.48.107.133
    /bin/ntpdate: invalid option -- s
    Our postcode is 06000. Found matching timezone Australia/Perth
    Offset 28800 for timezone WST, daylight saving is 0
    Connecting to time server 210.48.107.133
    Setting the local time to Wed May 31 11:21:37 2006
    gmtime gives    106/4/31 11:21:37  [3]
    sending to clock 06/05/31 11:21:37  [3]
    Which is the same result as just using a single verbose -v.

    and the sum is:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# sum /bin/ntpdate
    25904 59

    OK so the ntpdates are all correct. So thats not the issue, the image is ok.

    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) ...

    DJC is correct. It looks like you may not have an entry in your /etc/postcodezones file. If you execute "cat -et /etc/postcodezones" then you should see a line similar to:
    Code:
    02113^IPacific/Auckland$

    Who nicked Godzone off the list?

    Ok, thats your problem you need the New Zealand postcodes in this file.

    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.
