    Daylight Saving this weekend

    If you are slack like me, remember to change the TiVo clock this Sunday morning back an hour.

    Or you could implement this 'Daylight Savings Adjustment'.

    If you do it manually you might miss some Super 12 Rugby like Sharks vs Highlanders in the middle of the night, or whatever else tickles your fancy.

    That's why it's only for us slackers.

    :-( I had the script
    http://www.forums.oztivo.net/showpo...184&postcount=4
    all set up for Daylight savings but alas it failed me... The time was still an hour out and the log files shows:

    /bin/sh: /var/hack/DST/Daylight_Savings.sh: Permission denied
    /bin/sh: /var/hack/DST/Daylight_Savings.sh: Permission denied

    /bin/sh: /var/hack/DST/Daylight_Savings.sh: Permission denied
    /bin/sh: /var/hack/DST/Daylight_Savings.sh: Permission denied

    Anyone else failed/worked ? Any idea why the above ?

    The problem will be that the script was not marked as an executable. When you load any executable file or shell script onto a Linux system you need to make sure that it has been marked as an executable using something like:

    Code:
    chmod 755 Daylight_Savings.sh

    I was wondering how many people have had issues with the daylight savings this past weekend?

    My Tivo automatically adjusted itself without any issues. I think this might be a result of me setting the time zone to Pacific/Auckland.

    More than likely your TiVo has the standard image's entry in the crontab which runs fixtime.cron at 2:10am every day.

    So it may seem that things went according to plan but for the purist that isn't exactly how a daylight savings change happens.

    You might have a problem if you were recording a programme over the 'change period' - unlikely I know, but I did say "for the purist".
