Apologies for starting a new thread on this - but having replied to my own initial thread, not sure if anyone would see that I have added a debug log showing the point at which the time settings go to rats¥$t!!
It appears that the receiver time and the transponder time difference occasionally calculates as just over TEN YEARS, which then makes all my timer recordings jump forward in time by the same amount! My wife's favourite soaps might not be running still in 2025!
I have flashed, re-flashed time and again, installed latest TMTWIN bootloader, re-flashed, never restoring settings. Re-enetered the beloved soaps timers and Lo! this little gremlin comes along and sets all of my timers to the year 2025 - an increase of exactly the same amount per timer of course - about 10.18 years!!!
This happens on BOTH my TMTWIN boxes, which were running sweetly until a couple of weeks ago (quite frankly, don't remember which was the last image that worked OK, as I tend to keep up to date with new builds. That said, I am getting the feeling that this is not a Vix or config issue (I have nothing to prove that BTW!). However, as nobody else seems to reporting a similar issue on here and having spoken to Technomate (they think it's an image or Config issue - surprise! Surprise!) I am now going crazy trying to resolve this issue so that my wife can watch her beloved recorded soaps without having to wait until 2025 (or perhaps never, as it seems likely that the timers will continue to jump ahead by ten years and a bit everything the system time is updated by the GREMLIN!!!
I will worship any OpenVix genius who helps me figure out WTF is happening with my boxes!!!!
This is the link to my posts (admins please accept my apologies if this is a poor way of doing this!)
