I would think it would be both easier and much less prone to introducing bugs if theprogram running TV stuff added on the offset. Come two years from now you will forget that the time on the machines is munged time, and use it as real time. \on \Linux you could probably define a special timezone which was x seconds off UTC. The refclocks off course have the offset option on some of them-- I do not think it limits you as to how big that could be-- ie get a GPS source, use the NMEA as a clock, and put in the appropriate offset. >> advance against correct real time taken from another ntp server in >> network.
