[tenty]

Hi.

Frequent NTP updates on a TiVo are outside my experience I'm afraid. Anyone else???

I'm about to fire up my computer and connect via ppp to the TiVo, so as soon as I have an answer, I'll post it.

Edit:
telnet into tivo and edit crontab. This can be done in this way:

telnet 192.168.1.51
rw
cd /hack/etc
vi crontab
G
i
59 23 * * * /bin/ntpdate server.ip.address.here
ESC ESC
:wq
sync
ro

For all those above, rw makes the file system read/write, using vi, "G" (capital G) makes it go to the last line. "i" (lower case i) is insert.

59 23 * * * /bin/ntpdate server.ip.address.here
59 minutes, 23 hours past ie. 11:59pm, execute ntpdate with the variable server ip address. I say server IP address because tivo cannot do dns/WINS lookups by default

ESC ESC (press escape twice), :wq (colon, lower case "w", lower case "q") it will show on screen. This means "Write and Quit".

sync - Write changes to disk just in case it writes them later and we reboot before then.

ro - Set the file system back to "Read Only"

If you know how to use "joe" to make the adjustments, go ahead. just remove the commands like "G" and "i" and ":wq" and such.
