good question
XBMC say its Freitag. 21.01.2011 15:16 Uhr
but the correct time is Sa. 22.01.2011 00:16 Uhr

Yeah, I have set mine to UK (24hr) but it is way out too.
My other apple tv (1g) is all good, no issues with that. Just want to iron out some niggles with this one. So far loving what Davilla et al. have done.
Patience is a virtue I guess?

Don't be

SSH into your ATV2 (as you did to install XBMC in the first place), and run this command:

date -s "22 JAN 2011 13:20:45"

Obviously replacing with the actual time

Then just type:

date

To see if it worked. XBMC will now show the right time

I don't have an ATV2 myself yet (shippment from Apple on its way), but I would say you can/have to set it from within the ATV2 GUI (frontrow).
Then it should work in XBMC.

Setting it from the CLI is one way too far I would think.
