Daylight Savings changes and S1 TiVo

[mrmike]

I have an old (ancient, really) Lifetimed S1 with a busted modem (dials out fine, but likes to answer the phone when someone calls). As a result I only plug it in and force a connection once a week or so. I had a TiVoNet card in it but it died and I haven't replaced it yet. The question at hand is:

Will TiVo update the DST information (tzfile) on my S1 in a timely fashion (or have they done so already).

Since I no longer have access to a shell/ftp I can't fetch it off and check myself, so I figured I'd put the question to a larger audience who might have such access.

Anyone care to be nosy for me?

Guess not :(

We, or at least I don't know for sure.

If you're talking about the fact that DST will be extended in the US by four weeks, and older DST calculations will be inaccurate, I don't have a clue which tivo s/w versions will or won't properly adapt

The one thing I know for sure is that TWP will need to be patched for it

The good news is that, since guide data is in UTC, it should only be a display problem, recordings should still happen properly

We had a thread about this the other day in one of the other forums and TiVoJerry is looking into this.

I want to know how things will go for an UNsubbed Series 1.

I want to know how things will go for an UNsubbed Series 1.My guess would be:
No communication == No change in DST calculations == 4 weeks during which manual recordings will be off by an hour
