    Unfortunately the code examples you gave to find ntpdate will die on /dev/console. TiVo does not support -prune or -e (exclude) directories from find/grep, so I can't think of another global search that won't fork ATM.

    I tried the search first and they did die, I did search manually through any folders i could find that had config files or similar in them and could not find any reference to ntpdate using the loopback address for time.

    Any ideas on where the otclient process is picking this up from would be appreciated.

    It's definately not set up by the installer on the current image like that, so which guide did you follow to set your TiVo up. This may give us some clues as to where you went wrong.

    Alternativley it may just be easier to start from scratch again.

    I used the guide on nztivo.net to setup my Tivo

    http://www.nztivo.net/index.php/ImageWithScreenShots1.4

    I had trouble with the time from the beginning and found the the postcodezones file on nztivo.net was missing.

    I think i may have a bad postcodezones file installed and will check tonight for the dreaded ^M

    Reading through this archived thread, Ed points out the NZ emulator directs the ntpdate back onto the TiVo. This was fine for r1.3, but ntpdate does a lot more in r1.4

    So unless anyone in NZ has a better method of syncing r1.4 I suggest adding a cron job to run /bin/ntpdate -b 192.43.244.18 129.6.15.29 132.163.4.103 at least a couple of times a week. This will touch timestamp and sync your clock.

    You might want to try it from the command line first an make sure it sets the right time for NZ.

    Yes that looks fine, assuming you made the file 'set_NZ_time.sh' following thomsons instructions and you uploaded 'rdate' to /hack/bin as it is not included in the r1.4 image.
