I keep getting this error message when trying to use Tytools9R17.


syntax error in expression "*60*60"
while executing
"expr $tz*60*60"
(procedure "get_tzoffset" line 31)
invoked from within
"get_tzoffset $setuptz $daylightsavings"
(procedure "init_db" line 54)
invoked from within
"init_db"
(file "/var/hack/NowShowing.tcl" line 480)
Waiting for an incomming connection!

Could this be a problem associated with a UK TiVo.
I would appreciate some help as to what is going wrong.

For some reason tivo decided that for each tiny version change they would store the timezone in a different place. Whats happening is that for your configuration the code is failing to get the timezone and so you have an empty string where a numeric value is expected.

Anyways I think someone has updated Nowshowing.tcl to properly get timezone on a number of different tivo types. search for get_tzoffset or fail to get timezone or things along those lines to try and find that fixed version.
