Hi Wibble,

Thanks ...it was the binary mode transfer that made the difference. I transferred the Auckland file again in binary mode.

Now settivotime does this:

Our postcode is 00800. Found matching timezone Pacific/Auckland
Offset 46800 for timezone NZDT, daylight saving is 1
Connecting to time server 207.126.98.204
t was 3338006877 from server
t is now 1129064877
Time is 2005-10-11 21:07:57
Time set to: Tue Oct 11 21:07:57 2005
Have a nice day.
Time set to: Tue Oct 11 21:07:58 2005
Have a nice day.

Which looks good & leaves me with the correct time UNTIL the Tivo makes a call & sets the clock during the call. After the call I'm back to 13 hrs out again.

Is there something else I need to do to get the right time from the emulator ?

Feels like we're almost there...
