Thread: incorrect time

  1. #1

    Question incorrect time

    anyone else having problems getting the time to correctly reflect the change over to DST today?

    i've done 3 successful calls, but the time hasn't updated correctly.

    my last one done just now (Sunday, 1:28pm) and the output from TivoWeb is "Sunday, Oct 05 at 12:26 pm"

    any way for me to force the correct time?

    thanks!

    I assume you are in Australia (as you have not included your location in your profile), is the time also wrong on the TV screen, or just Tivoweb?

    I think it works if you telnet the type in "settime YYYYMMDDhhmmss" and it should work.

    settime will be overwritten by the next daily call.

    Ok, then your timezone file may be out of date.

    What version of oztivo software are you running ?

    To update your timezone and effect the Daylight Savings Time change, I basically follow the instructions listed here: http://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/view...htSavingChange

    Note that to run ntpdate if you are using the second method, use the following:

    /bin/ntpdate -b -v 132.163.4.103

    If that doesn't work for some reason, try

    /bin/ntpdate -b -v 129.6.15.29

    If you are running an old version, the method I indicated in my post will still work. I am running 1.3 on my three Tivos and it worked for them.

    I will repeat this here for clarity. Basically if you are running version 1.4 or below:
    1. Telnet to your Tivo.
    2. Change to the top-level directory by doing cd /
    3. Run the command rsync -rv 65.49.60.197:ztivo_timezones .
    4. Don't forget the space then dot on the end of the command!
    5. rs/bin/ntpdate -b -v 132.163.4.103
    Note on line 3 of this post, it is showing a Smilie instead of Colon ':' and Letter 'o'. I can't seem to find a way to post this correctly! Please refer to the link if you are going to cut and paste this into Telnet!

    thanks for the help, but i don't think it worked...

    at step3 it seemed to work & said receiving file list, then went through all the australian zones, but wrote 0 bytes, read 0 bytes.

    on the ntpdate i got the error 'no such file/directory'

    i also just did another phone update, but still nothing
