Harondel,
Ok... to fix this you need to include the following in your dongle.bin.config file:
TZ=EST+5EDT,M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2
export TZ
rdate -s <backend ip address>
You need to set the TZ environment variable for your timezone and then set the date by using rdate just put the ip address of your backend where I've shown it. There should be information on the TZ variable in your man pages (man timezone gets me there) and here's the important stuff:
EST5EDT 5*60*60
GMT0 0*60*60
JST-9
-9*60*60
MET-1MEST -1*60*60
MST7MDT 7*60*60
PST8PDT 8*60*60
So EST5EDT is 5 hours offset from UTC or GMT. The rest of the string M4.1.0/2,M10.5.0/2 just stays the same.
If you're proficient with linux you can try to set up ntp in you boot parameters to do this for you automatically.
Though I could dream up an SQL command to just get the time from the backend (SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(now());) and set the mvpmc's time using this approach, I would rather not override a user's preferences or maintain my own time within the TV Guide. Using ntp, I can be almost sure that my server is at a stratum 2 level of accuracy and my mvps are at stratum 3. If I use the SQL approach the latency of the query will dictate the accuracy (not that a few milliseconds will make a difference but I would prefer to use the correct approach). Though, the user friendliness of the other approach has its merits as well.
Once you've got the correct time set, please let me know if the programming information is showing properly. Once we've got this solved, we can figure out why you're only able to change channels to 2 or 3.
Cheers...
Sergio
