  • Freeview Clock

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 7 23:27:11 2024
    I wonder where the Freeview transmission gets its time reference from? Is
    it nationwide, or regional?

    For several months now, the info box on my Freeview reception has been
    showing a time about 3 minutes ahead of the correct time.

    Aaaand ... it’s fixed.

    Coincidence? Or did somebody read my posting? ;)

    Drifted again, currently over 2 minutes ahead of the correct time.

    Some harried human, supposed to check on it manually, but with too many
    other tasks on their hands ...

    Probably the same useless twit who does Sky TV's guide data entry. Some
    shows can't be marked as Series Link record, other shows that can be
    marked as Series Link record a pile of other episodes that are not part
    of the same season, etc. :-\

    I suspect this person works for Kordia, though.

    A fix of a sort: it’s now only about 25 seconds behind the correct time.

    This really needs to be done automatically.
