How to change time zone on Apple TV 2G
On the jailbreaked Apple TV 2 login as root using ssh.
find / -name localtime
it should come up with
/private/var/db/timezone/localtime
now got to this directory
cd /private/var/db/timezone/
remove link
rm localtime
and create new one for example in my case Madrid.
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid localtime
to get your time zone
check what’s available in
cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/
Reboot and that should be it.

Thank you for this Article.
Actually, it’s very strange. I set up the timezone for Zurich but the clock is still not correct. It’s 22.39H here but the XBMC shows me 20.39H.
Do you have any Idea?
Cheers, Fluxx

Apple TV uses ntp client to fetch time. It needs to be restarted.
1. Exit XBMC
2. Go to NitoTV>Settings>Reboot or simply
unplug power cable and plug it in.

Try again:
1. cd /private/var/db/timezone/
2. rm localtime
3. ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich localtime
4. reboot
Let me know if it worked for you.

So I tried but now, when I boot the AppleTv, it says Waiting for Systemtime.
I waited about 10mins but then I quit and rebooted the new. After this reboot, it showed up again. So I quit and checked under Settings in AppleTV. The is written under About/Networktime: Switched (reachable).
Maybe I should restore the hole AppleTV and jb it again?

Update:
I updated the Firmware of my Router. After that, the Message (Waiting for Networktime) didn’t showed up again.
I entered XBMC to check the Time, but still 2H difference.

Hmm localtime for Zurich might be going kuku. Can you try Madrid and see if it works for you? It has the same time.
