sorry for being unclear. By 'correct time' i mean what a human understands as 'time', for example that it is "13. of June 2006, 01:30". My PCs system clock that i use to capture MPEGs at a certain time is very inaccurate. On some channels in "video text" there are clocks available that tell me what date and time it is at the moment. I think in some other signals there is also a time encoded. Is it possible to somehow get that time and adjust the PCs system clock? If it is not possible i have to buy a DCF-77 receiver (i'm in europe) and tell NTPD to use this one as a time source. A DCF-77 receiver can be used as a source for NTPD. It receives data on 77 kHz and can reconstruct a very exact date/time from that. I did not think of receiving the VBI, i think this one is not very exact.
