Are you using dvb-t?
If so, just force dvbdate in an X-term window.

I added it to my cronjobs through the crontab.

Code:
crontab -e

then added the following command
Code:
* 45 * * * dvbdate -f -s


I'm not sure I needed both -f (force) and -s (set) switches, but as it makes sure my clock is correct every fortyfifth minute of every hour, it will accommodate BST from the transmitter.[/code]

Thanks.

I used - tzconfig

and then went through mythtv-setup and did a retune as my prog guide was out by a hour.

Thanks again.

Not sure if I've got a different problem, I'm running R5A26, Myth is recording the programs correctly (i.e. on time), but the time is old GMT and so the program guide and mythweb are an hour behind.

I've tried dvbdate -f -s but that just reckons it the GMT time.

I had a look at timezone, but with a lot of stuff being recorded soon, I don't what to screw things up...

Any ideas?

That 45 is in the hour field. Surely it should be

Code:
45 * * * * dvbdate -f -s


??

Good tip though!

Oops, your right it should be
Code:
45 * * * * dvbdate -s -f

But despite that it works.
