    Using New Emulator ... -13 hr time problem

    Hi,

    Quick intro, I've had my Tivo for over a year now & have been very happy with it & most grateful to all the helpful people in this forum who have usually already posted answers to my questions before I've even had to ask them. So thanks for your excellent efforts, especially those of you who have been providing the guide data...its what makes Tivo so good !

    I've been away on holiday for a couple of weeks & missed both the daylight savings issues & the recent issues with the original emulator ( where I was getting my guide data from, usually very successfully), Got back from holiday, read the forums & decided to make the jump to the new emulator.

    Following the instructions, all went well & I've got guide data from 210.48.107.133:80 no probs. Guide data even looks better. However...

    It seems that every time I call up & get new data, the clock gets set to GMT, with no daylight savings...ie 13 hrs out.

    I'm hoping someone out there can give me a clue as to what I've done wrong.

    Here's some info & what I've done so far:

    I'm on version 1.3 ...it was set up in august 2004. Startup screen says Version 3.0, release 1.

    To try & fix the time problem:
    I downloaded the postcodezones & Auckland files , installed as per instructions in one of the old posts.
    Fixtivotime complained about not finding postcode 2113.
    Found the post on editing postcodezones file to change Pacific/Auckland postcode to 2113. Did this.
    Fixtivotime then ran, but set Tivo to be at GMT, with no daylight savings...thus 13 hrs out.
    Ran timezoneadj30.tcl & set timezone to 7 , rebooted.
    Settime to correct time.
    Ran fixtivotime again to check all is well ...and it reset the time to gmt again...13 hrs out again!
    So did a settime again to set correct time & went away to see if I could find an answer to my problem in the forums. For once I couldn't find an answer.

    This morning, Tivo called the new emulator again & got new guide data ...also seems to have reset clock again & its now 13 hrs out again.

    Output from fixtivotime looks like this :

    [TiVo [p0] ~]# fixtivotime
    Our postcode is 02113. Found matching timezone Pacific/Auckland
    Offset 0 for timezone GMT, daylight saving is 0
    Connecting to time server 207.126.98.204
    t was 3337922370 from server
    t is now 1128933570
    Time is 2005-10-10 08:39:30
    Time set to: Mon Oct 10 08:39:30 2005
    Have a nice day.
    Time set to: Mon Oct 10 08:39:30 2005
    Have a nice day.

    This looks wrong to me ...shouldn't offset be 12 & daylight saving be 1 ?
    If so, can anyone help me fix this ?? Is the problem with my Auckland file ?

    BTW I'm in Auckland, Tivo connected via ethernet , DSL & Xtra. Using Sky Pace box. Series 1 Tivo.

    Sorry for the long post, but thought more info would be better than less.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    David

    EDIT/DJC: The correct postcodezones file for nz is located at ftp://orac.caffeine.co.nz/install/postcodezones for those not running the NZ customised instalk images.
