    Question TiVo time problem

    I wiped everything and ran GS again to fix another problem. Now the time on the TiVo and all the times in the EPG data are wrong. I get the following when typing fixtivotime in HT:

    Code:
    [TiVo [p0] ~]# fixtivotime
    Our postcode is 02115. No matching timezone for postcode 02115
    Usage: /tvbin/settime [YYYYMMDDhhmm[ss]] [-rtc]
    Time set to: Thu Jan 26 17:58:24 2006
    Have a nice day.
    So from that I can see the TiVo should think it's the correct time (was correct at the time) but it says 9:58am when it's really 5:58pm. I don't have a linux box but I checked and the Auckland file exists in /var/hack/zoneinfo/pacific/.

    I tried "chmod 777 /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland" and got no such file.

    cd to /etc
    type cp postcodezones postcodezone.bak

    then

    joe postcodezones

    you need to add the 02115 postcode to the postcodezones file.. ie:

    # A list of TiVo postcodes and the timezones that they represent
    # Two columns, separated by one tab only.
    #
    02116 Pacific/Auckland
    02115 Pacific/Auckland
    0080 Australia/Darwin
    02000 Australia/Sydney
    02600 Australia/Sydney
    03000 Australia/Melbourne
    04000 Australia/Brisbane
    05000 Australia/Adelaide
    06000 Australia/Perth
    07000 Australia/Hobart

    Once added, save the file and try running fixtivotime.

    fixtivotime works now but the on screen time was still 5 hours out. I ran timezoneadj30.tcl and selected 7. I rebooted a couple of times and now it's correct. Thanks Zollymonsta for your help again. Now to do all my season passes again and get the logos loaded....
