I have XBMC installed on my 512mb Pi. Everything is working wonderfully except for the time/date.
When I tested the Pi with another distro from the Pi's main website it grabbed the time/date fine from the internet ntp server. I am wondering if XBMC also does this?
Right now it is off by 1 full day and about 70 minutes.
I messed around in the setting and everything looks correct for my region but it still shows wrong time/date.
Any help would be appreciated!
Merry Christmas!

You might want to ask the distro that you 1st installed.

Yeah, but if it is one of the debian based ones try a simple "apt-get install ntp" over ssh.

Maybe the time zone didn't automatically set correctly (IIRC, XBMC will try to set it based on your IP address's geolocation information). You can set the time zone in
Settings/Appearance/International (wiki)

Already did..
What do others use, besides RaspMC way... What is the best XBMC distro? OpenElec?
What differences are there between these "distros?"..

OpenElec "distro" seems to be quite ok, but the Wifi settings is HORRIBLE and did not work. Raspbmc's Network Manager is a blessing..

Xbian 1.0a5 was the only Image that worked correctly with Wifi. Other images just gave up NTP if during the startup there was no network, despite that wifi was just about to kick in..
