you may have to use the rw command to make your system writeable.
Basically issue the 'rw' command at the start, and then use 'ro' when you are done.
Also, did you remember to include the dot at the end of line 3? It won't work without it.

David/Forum, please ignore the below, it all seems to have worked. I think it takes a few moments to update. I went back into to Telnet, ran the ntpdate command and it reported the correct time. Tivo's guide screen also reports correct time. Thanks again, Tony.
Thanks David,
My time is still wrong. Here's what I did and what happens:
First I run the rsync as instructed...
[TiVo [p0] ~]# rsync -rv 65.49.60.197:ztivo_timezones .
Welcome to the OzTiVo rsync server...

[TiVo [p0] ~]#
Then I run the rw and ntpdate commands as follows....
[TiVo [p0] ~]#
[TiVo [p0] ~]# rw
File system is now READ/WRITE.
[TiVo [p0] ~]#
[TiVo [p0] ~]# ntpdate -b -v 132.163.4.103
[TiVo [p0] ~]#
[TiVo [p0] ~]# Time set to: Mon Oct 6 22:00:58 2008
Have a nice day.
[TiVo [p0] ~]#
[TiVo [p0] ~]# ro
File system is now READ ONLY.
[TiVo [p0] ~]#
However it is 11pm and as you can see the result above shows its still 10pm.
Appreciate any ideas. I am also running version 1.3 in Sydney.
Cheers

Hi All,
I'm also having problems getting my 1.3 tivo to update to the correct time.
When I enter the rsync command as described I get the following error:
# rsync -rv 65.49.60.197ztivo_timezones .
Connection Refused
unexpected EOF in read_timeout
I've tried using the --timeout option for rsync but it didn't make any difference.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
There is a colon missing from the command you pasted.
Peter.Code:[TiVo [p0] ~]# rsync -rv 65.49.60.197::oztivo_timezones .

Damn those pesky smileys! I entered a double colon and the rsync command worked.
I then ran the ntpdate command and am now waiting for the time to update. Its still showing the old time at the moment but other posters have suggested it takes a while so I'll give it some time. Will let you know if I still have problems.Code:[TiVo [p0] ~]# rsync -rv 65.49.60.197::oztivo_timezones .
Cheers for your help.
I get the same problem. The time is still an hour out.
I got mine to work in the end. Seems so simple but caused me more grief than it should have.
To summarise tips from this thread and what helped me:
1. Make sure your firewall isn't blocking traffic to 65.49.60.197 or 132.163.4.103 (and whatever other NTP servers your tivo might be pointing to - 132.163.4.101?)
2. Make sure you're in the / directory before you run the rsync command.
3. Make the filesystem read/writable with the rw command
4. Make sure you use two colons '::' in the rsync command
5. Make sure you have a space and . on the end of the rsync command.
6. Run the ntpdate command a couple of times. Mine didn't update on the first go.
7. Reboot (Still not sure if this is really required but can't hurt).
Cheers.Code:[TiVo [p0] ~]# cd / [TiVo [p0] ~]# rw [TiVo [p0] ~]# rsync -rv 65.49.60.197::oztivo_timezones . [TiVo [p0] ~]# /bin/ntpdate -b -v 132.163.4.103 [TiVo [p0] ~]# ro

I thought I would post the instructions one more time (without the smilies) to make sure its clear for those still having problems:
Step 3 is to make sure your directory structure is not read-only. Step 7 may not be necessary for most people, but it can't hurt. Running these steps again also cannot hurt.
- Telnet into your Tivo.
- Change to the top-level directory by doing
Code:cd /- Run the command:
Code:rw- Run the command:
Code:rsync -rv 65.49.60.197::oztivo_timezones .- Don't forget the space then dot on the end of the command! 5a. Run command:
Code:ro- Run the command
Code:rs/bin/ntpdate -b -v 132.163.4.103- Reboot the tivo
Please take note of any error messages, or if steps 4 and 6 don't provide the expected results. (Step 4 will synchronise your timezones folder with the one on oztivo, downloading the latest timezone files. Step 6 will update the time on your tivo by contacting a web time server.)
