Failed while preparing data.....AGAIN.

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) ...

[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

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:

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$
02000^IAustralia/Sydney$
02600^IAustralia/Sydney$
03000^IAustralia/Melbourne$
04000^IAustralia/Brisbane$
05000^IAustralia/Adelaide$
06000^IAustralia/Perth$
07000^IAustralia/Hobart$

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

[Muzza]

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'

# 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"?

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.

Lets keep on it, can you do the same and post but use the -et flag on cat

cat -et /etc/postcodezones

[Muzza]

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

joe /etc/postcodezones

And the ntpdate output just use the -v flag

ntpdate -v 210.48.107.133

is sufficient
