Alpha8Me Wrote:Well I guess I messed up......I should have read the entire post......I entered this:
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/**America/Chicago** localtime

with the actual "**" in the command. Now when I SSH via putty to fix my error it says
"rm: cannot remove `localtime': No such file or directory"

Please help!

Just recreate the link, when you ran the command with ** in it no 'localtime' file was created.

Just need to pick a city with a GMT+8 timezone from here http://www.happyzebra.com/timezones-worl...hp?q=China that's also in /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia and use it below:

Code:
(first ssh to the atv2, login as root with alpine for the password)
cd /private/var/db/timezone
rm localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Hong_Kong localtime
reboot (might be able to just run 'killall AppleTV' but reboot will definitely make the settings current)

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB localtime

Have a new problem. I correctly fixed the time internally in my atv2. But in XBMC is displaying a wrong time? (Top right corner)?

If you are running the latest build, check the system settings. There you can change the timezone, too Wink
