DAB radio: time incorrect
« on: 18 October, 2009, 01:27:14 pm »
Hi

Overnight my DAB radio seems to have had one of its periodic strops & returned to factory setting. I've re-set my preset buttons but the time being broadcast by the stations is an hour behind as if DAB thinks BST ended overnight. My other DAB radio seems to agree. Anyone else getting this?

DVB and teletext is fine.

You didn't have a powercut at 1am this morning did you? That could make it appear to have lost an hour.

No - everything else is fine. I reckon somone at the local DAB Mux thinks BST ended this w/end instead of next and reset the time  ???

I think I'll be using my old alarm clock as a back-up to make sure I'm at work on time tomorrow!

Ah! Where are you based? I'm in Norfolk (cue 'behind the times' joke)

It was on the radio this morning, one of the DAB servers had the wrong date to push the hour forward (it happens this early this Sunday morning). Human error as the server was just doing what it had been told to do :)

Ours "lost" an hour this morning - the kids left for the school bus at 8.10, then when I next looked at it when the news came on it was showing 7.30!
