Changing TimeZone

[ikpaha]

Hi all,

I have OpenPLI, but my TimeZone is stuck to UTC and its one hour behind there is no way to change it to correct time.

Anyone has any suggestion how to change the time in VU

Re: Changing TimeZone

To change the timezone, it should be something like

Setup -> System -> Timezone

The time is set from satellite transmission, so is set when you tune to a channel.

Re: Changing TimeZone

Yes it is

Setup -> System -> Timezone

but its stuck to "UTC" and there is no way for me to change it.

It suppose to get right time from the channels but its getting one hour erlier when its 11am it says 10am.

Isnt any way to manually to change it.

If you telnet/ssh to the box you can set the date and time manually:

date -s YYYY.MM.DD-hh:mm:ss

Great that worked but when I restarted the box, it whent back to the old wrong time.

How can I make it stay correct time?

Re: Changing TimeZone

To change the timezone should be + & - in hours or with the OpenPLI

*example

Just attached a file. add that and change the .xml to:
##########################################
<zone name="(GMT-07:00) Arizona" zone="MST" />
##########################################

that will fix it.

@easydigital, which .xml file to change?


Another option might be to tune to a channel in your correct timezone, then reboot the box. It should restart on that same channel, and the time will then be set correctly.

Re: Changing TimeZone

find /etc/timezone.xml should be simple fix sonc.

Re: Changing TimeZone

Cannot access timezone.xml

When trying to access /etc/timezone.xml it says:
"Error: Critical file transfer error"

Re: Changing TimeZone

It maybe a link, try /etc/tuxbox/timezone.xml.

Have you tried my suggestion:

Re: Changing TimeZone

I tried everything, when I changed manually the time it worked but when I restarted again it went back to wrong time again.

I just have to wait to another clock change

Re: Changing TimeZone

I've also had the same situation.

The selecting a channel in my own timezone fixed it for me.
A couple of seconds on there until the time was set and then any other zapping worked fine, and time didn't change.

It seem to get the time from initial set-up so if your start-up channel is UTC that's what it sticks with.

Re: Changing TimeZone

I had the same problem with my receiver with the summertime and with the daylight saving. It was coming up with the wrong epg. I reset the time and restarted the receiver then redownloaded the epg and it is fine now.
