I saw the recent discussion about NTP and something occurred to me.
OK, but did you /read/ it?
I have a VCR (a SONY) that sets it's clock from information transmitted in the NTSC broadcasts. In this area, it happens to be channel 3 that is broadcasting the info. Yes...this means when the power goes out and then is restored, I don't have to set the clock it just happens automagically. Anyway, the point of all of this is, if a VCR can do this, couldn't Myth do it to? Does anyone know if the VCR has some sort of special hardware that is not available to Myth that allows it to do this? Just my 0.02.
Most of the thread you mentioned was talking about exactly this ( http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/155755#155755 )--and why NTP is better than relying on the broadcasted information ( http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/155857#155857 ). Although dvbdate is specific to DVB systems, Daniel's points would apply to any other date system transmitted with the TV.
