Request Date and Time Issue

Hi everyone!

I'm very new to the world of Enigma2. The Vu+ Zero4k is my first box and I am using it solely for IPTV. I installed the most recent version of BH image and have been able to install my IPTV service then added EPG-Importer so that I could get the EPG to work. However, the issue arises that the box is reading a date of Dec 31, 1969!

As you can imagine, that is causing some issues.

I have set the correct timezone, but there doesn't seem to be a way to manually change the date and time and the box isn't grabbing the information from the network. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?

BH has no time function: it gets the date from the satellite, usually from the 1st channel if the first bouquet.
If you don't add any sat or dvb-t service, in BH you don't get the time and the date.
If you want this you should install OBH which has got a NTP connection.

This section is about BH, not OBH.
In OBH you have no problems: they are simply accessible by
MENU/Setup/Time

where you have two options, the default (transponder time) or the NTP server.

I've always used this last and I've never had trubles. Obviously, you need an Internet connection because VU+, as other linux decoders, has got NO CLOCK on the main board. So it needs to take it from a transponder or, in OBH, from Internet.

Thanks, but
MENU/Setup/Time
change nothing. I test different options with transporter an NTP ( is server europe.pool.ntp.org correct). EPG time is correct but user interf show me 06:00 03.09.2018

Yes, you need to restart or to wait the time you set for the refresh. I set it as "30 min", for instance. And it has always worked.

The same problem occurred and I learned all the aforementioned solutions and the image used Open Blackhall did not work
We want a solution from the experts with thanks to them

If you’re not getting a broadcast signal, then you need to create a ntp.conf file and put it in /etc/enigma2. Then restart ntpd.
