My tivo's clock is suddenly an hour slow?

**Tony** · 16-03-2009, 04:13 PM

Hi all,

Any reason why my Tivo should suddenly have decided its an hour earlier than it actually is?

Not completely sure when it did this... early Sunday morning I think? Something to do with the daylight saving dates having moved?

I'm running the current 1.5 NZ image, and don't think I've tweaked anything relevant.

Cheers,

Tony

Did you guys update to the latest daylightsavings file?

Hi all, both my Tivo's are an hour out. I updated the daylight saving time file as suggest and rebooted. Redid guide data and the clock is still 1 hour out. I then used settime to correctly set the time. All OK until I did guide data again. You guessed it, clock out by 1 hour. It appears that the clock that the Tivo syncs to during daily call (guide data) is an hour out.
Can someone confirm this?

Thanks

Keith

Our TiVo is displaying the correct time.

The clock that your TiVo calls would not be out at it replies in UTC. The timezone calculation is done in the TiVo and it does not appear to be calculating correctly.

What do you get with these commands?
/bin/ntpdate -b -v 132.163.4.103

ls -l /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland

Can someone who is ok also try them.

Peter.

Ok, it looks like the timezone file you loaded may be corrupt.

Did you unzip it on your PC first?

If you did, copy it across again and unzip on the TiVo.
