Chris said:It appears they have. My recently purchased DVD video recorder set it's
clock automagically.
Anyone know what's going out over the TV cable these days to allow for
this?
Good day!
In the late 1990s IEE spectrum had a hilarious article about these
stupid VCRs, many of which have *no* other mechanism for setting the
clock, other than using the time data built into the TV signal (I forget
the details of how it works).
Problem was East vs West coast time. Quite a few channels were failing
to strip the old time info and add the correct time (for, say, a
west-coast program piped to the east coast). Result - VCR automatically
fucks up the time setting whenever such a program airs. lovely.
