5:55 p.m.
parts of the US the VCR would select a reference that
was in a different
timezone than the user. This would result in the clock being off by an
hour (or for some folks in Arizona, off by an hour for part of the year).
Our $69 Toshiba has this problem with our cable system, ie if it tracks
WTBS instead of KCAL or some other local station we have to play with
setting it manually to a local station. The simple solution would be for
ALL stations to transmit GMT and locally each person would set the offset,
but that may have some daylight savings time glitches.
I am a bit behind in reading my email, but I am surprized nobody is talking
about internet time servers, which I have been using for about 4 years.
