Running out of data

**tonys** · 02-10-2005, 02:31 PM

I've done a clear guide data, forced a daily call, seemed to get a good download, tivo's finished indexing and there's holes all over the guide data!
Any progress on this issue? btw I'm using port 80 on the development emulator.

to repeat an earlier request, how do I correct the Tivo clock for daylight saving??

I'm having the same problem, Tivo is showing missing information all over the place. However a twist in the tale ( tail? )

via Tivo Web, Whats On, everything is showing as being there, no gaps all looks good, I can schedule programs to record and the tivo is changing to record the shows so whats the go with that?????

keep up the good work though guys,

This website seems to display what my TiVo is seeing.

If I look at Whats on in TiVo Web I can see data there too. That's weird but sounds like a good clue to what is wrong.

Open up a telnet window and type:

settime [YYYYMMDDhhmm]
(obviously replacing the [YYYYMMDDhhmm] with the year/month/day etc - eg settime 200510021855)
then type:
settime -rtc

you can alternativley run fixtivotime if you have it running.. and then issue a settime -rtc

or get really smart and use the attached script to avoid the problem all together...

Think that'll move me firmly outside my comfort zone! I'm gradually getting happier messing with Tivo settings via Putty, I can do the timestamp thing, force calls and indexing etc, even managed to change emulator, but I've no idea how to add scripts...........anyone want to give me some guidance?

ran the settime procedure, so all well there now, at least wifey can do manual recordings while we're waiting to resolve the guide data issue.

Thanks all!

PS Where would I find fixtivotime? Had a look in hack/bin and a few other directories and can't find it.

it's in /hack/bin/fixtivotime on my 1.3.

Anyway here it is:

#!/bin/sh
# Stop time warp messages
touch /var/timestamp
# Set the time to time server with appropriate timezone offset
/tvbin/settime `rtimetz -v 207.126.98.204 207.126.98.204 129.6.15.28 131.107.1.10`

# Now set hardware clock
/tvbin/settime -rtc

But I had ftp'd a slice manually earlier on, and just got the updated slice announced on theis thread by jaidev.

Funny thing was the previous slice had a later timestamp than the current one, didn't just seem to be an hour off due to daylight saving but considerably more. Spotted it when my ftp client complained and asked if I really wanted to overwrite the existing newer version.

Sorry cant advise the actual timestamp since it was overwritten, but I wondered if this may be related in some way to current problems?

Apologies if this is a red herring....
