That's a pity, I was under the impression the time signal came from the console not the transmitter , but reading the manual seems to indicate otherwise. I bought spare outdoor sensors when Maplin were closing down so have 2 of everything, the only thing I didn't buy was the outdoor transmitter ! SInce I replaced the transmitter I managed to repair the original outdoor transmitter, unfortunately then the console USB connection failed, so I had no way of getting the data from the console to my PC. I ended up using a USB SDR dongle, and a RPi 3B (both of which I had) running WEEWX to pick up the outdoor transmitter signal Pressure and indoor humidity/temp come from a BME280 connected to the PI, seems to work well so far.
