    TP time

    ADVERTS 1
    The azbox has a selection of TP for setting the time. I selected this setting and nothing happened. How should this work? I checked back after 24 hours - zip.

    Only some transponders send the time data. Most do not though.

    Its just easier to pull the time off the internet.

    Dialup is all I got, can't get DSL, etc out here... don't really want to anyway.
    I do enough of that stuff to pay the bills. Bummer.

    You can also set it by hand.

    Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Seems like the azbox needs a reboot every now and then.
    I've found out that if the time is not set correctly, recording is problematic beyond the obvious. For instance, you set the clock a couple minutes off, a reserved recording will not finish - display looks like it has - and the box is sort of locked up.
    It will respond to the remote, you just can't see what's going on on the tv. I have to reboot every time. I've telnet'ed in before rebooting and looked at the files in the recordfile area. It will have a bunch of .idx and a few other files which are orphaned after reboot.

    Also, if you set the time manually, use the 24 hour format i.e. 13:29 vs 1:29 pm.
    If you set the hour and minute and then go back and set am or pm, it screws up.
