I thought I'd probably have to do something manually to sort this out, and sure enough I did...
The summertime to wintertime changeover occured this morning.
To sort out the time, you have two steps.
First, using TiVoweb find out in the MFS section the "location" for your Setup. You should end up with a screen like below:
Setup 464981/10 {
Version = 6981
CableType = 3
BannerTimeout = 0
SetupDate = 11698
Source = 464981/1394
CallWaitingPrefix = {}
DialPrefix = {}
ScartSettings = 464981/12
ServiceInfo = 464981/11
RFOutputChannel = 21
LastChannel = 464981/292
PostalCode = DE74
VCRIrCodeNum = 0
NoPrivateBackhaul = 0
Complete = 7
DemoMode = 0
LastCallStatus = Succeeded
LastCallAttempt = 1256290464
LastSuccessCall = 1256290464
NextCallAttempt = 1256860800
ServiceState = 5
ServiceStateExpiration = 14547
TimeZone = 9
IndexPath = /Setup
}
The two bits in bold are the bits you need, so at the TiVo prompt I needed to do the following
./dbset 464981/10 TimeZone 8
This takes your timezone back one hour.
Next, you need to change the time forward one hour. Yes, it's bizarre, but otherwise it won't work!
So I first found out the date, then changed the time accordingly
bash-2.02# date
Sun Oct 25 03:52:54 localtime 2009
bash-2.02# settime 20091025045355
Time set to: Sun Oct 25 04:53:55 2009
Have a nice day.
bash-2.02# settime -rtc
Time set to: Sun Oct 25 04:54:04 2009
Have a nice day.
Job done!
Come summertime, the reverse is needed.
