I have a UK tivo and a big 1.4 metre dish and Sky reciever here in spain, My Uk Tivo is a lifetime subscription and it works quite happy.. but I want to play!
Is it possible for tivo to correctly display the correct local time (ie uk +1hour) and still operate normally? The only 'clock' I have is on the sky guide or on the tivo and sometimes after a few drinks it confuses me.. (doesnt take much!!)
Im unsure if the downloaded schedules and setting of the clock on daily call is based on gmt and internally altered to accomodate the time zones (gmt/bst) or if it uses gmt regardless of what time tivo displays making it irelevant what time it displays on screen & what time tivo tells me a programme starts as its just doing a gmt +/- timezone shift.
IE.
Eastenders starts at 730pm uk time (regardless of whether the uk is in gmt or bst) but here in spain 730 pm uk time is 830 pm local time, can i tell tivo im in a different time zone get it to display local time and record programs at the correct time.. eastenders will still record at 730pm uk time but will display 830pm local time and not record an hour early!
I hope this makes sense I dont know the techincal names for stuff, just would like tivo to display the time where I live and save me buying a clock...
