Time settings - Vu+ SoloSE

[calculus]

Hello! I have VU+ SoloSE with BH 3.0.3. A and I was wondering if it is possible to update the clock/time through internet, not through transponder? The transponder time is about a minute off, depends on what channel I'm watching. Thanks!

By default date and time are synced with TP data.

You can also install manually NTPdate, configure it and you can sync date/time from NTP servers.

You need Telnet/SSH access to your box first.

opkg install ntpdate

Next you can update date/time with classic ntpdate linux command.

i've never done that, so i'm unsure how to proceed. is there an ipk i can just install?

The command reported in the previous post install automatically the IPK for ntpdate utility.

You should update your image to latest and the command work.
Tested directly to my Vu+Ultimo4K and BH 3.1.0.
