can you check /var/hack/zoneinfo/Australia/ and make sure you only have one melbourne file.

Peter.

also try the following commands:

ls -l /var/hack/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne

and

strings /bin/ntpdate | grep tz

That's all good.

can you try:
[TiVo [p0] ~]# get_postalcode

A few times. This didn't work for you before.

If it still doesn't work try

cat -et /etc/postcodezones

Peter.

Ok, I think we are getting somewhere.

try this

rw

dos2unix /etc/postcodezones

ro

then try cat -et /etc/postcodezones again.

Peter.

Awesome! It's now working and on time!! Thanks Peter, you're a star! Are you a beer or wine man as i'd love to send a thank you gift

**petestrash** · 13-02-2008, 03:09 PM

The problem was an error in postcodezones file, as I thought it was in post #6.

Unfortunately even when you transfered the new version some errors still crept in.

It is fairly common when transfering some files that the FTP program uses acsii or text mode. When this happens it adds ^M to the end of each line causing the corruption.

To stop this make sure all transfers are done in 'Binary Mode'.

Peter.

PS No gifts needed, just sorry it's taken 2 months to resolve.
