Hi all,
I had a problem setting up the date and time in my VU+ Duo. The problem is that BH does not allow you to manually set the date and time, because the box is automatically updated from the satellites. In my case I am using a VU+ Duo which is not connected to satellite antenna or to the cable, because I am using another VU+ (a Duo2) as server for my VU+ Duo which is in another floor, and I stream from the server box to my client box using the remote stream plugin.
To cut the long story short, because my client box is not connected to a satellite dish or to a cable I could not set up the time and date in said box through the BH image menu, and I had the factory date (which was someday in 1970...).
After googling a lot I have found a solution, and I wanted to share it in case that it cold be of any utility for any of you:
Via telnet use the following command:
date [OPTIONS] [+FMT] [TIME]
Display time (using +FMT), or set time
[-s,--set] TIME Set time to TIME
-u,--utc Work in UTC (don't convert to local time)
-R,--rfc-2822 Output RFC-2822 compliant date string
-I[SPEC] Output ISO-8601 compliant date string
SPEC='date' (default) for date only,
'hours', 'minutes', or 'seconds' for date and time to the indicated precision
-r,--reference FILE Display last modification time of FILE
-d,--date TIME Display TIME, not 'now'
-D FMT Use FMT for -d TIME conversion
Recognized TIME formats:
hh:mm[:ss]
[YYYY.]MM.DD-hh:mm[:ss]
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm[:ss]
[[[[[YY]YY]MM]DD]hh]mm[.ss]
I hope it helps if needed.
Of course, all the credit should go to mickle026 (whom I do not know), who posted a thread in alsatforum.com from which I got this information. I am not registered there, so I cannot thank him, but I would like to do it here. Maybe I could have fund this information somewhere else, but I did it in his post and I thank him for that.
