The DVB broadcast TS includes a date & time signal. See: 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dvbtools/dvbdate/

 From the readme...

dvbdate is a simple program to set the system clock from the Time and 
Date Table packets in a DTT stream... 'dvbdate' just looks at the TDT 
information from the currently tuned multiplex and sets the clock to UTC.
