[linux-dvb] Re: Wrong time in VDR

[Robert.Schneider@lotus.com]

Hi all,

as with all the Extended Information, the data that comes down is by far 
not reliable. The ETSI docs clearly state what has to be there in what 
format and in which frequency the information should be broadcasted. 
Unfortunately the implementation varies by channel.

So if you have wrong time information, wrong program information etc. 
Don't worry, just wait, in most cases it will go away over time.

Regarding time formats: The data from the satellite is UTC. The routines 
that receive the time information convert that to your locale's time zone 
whatever your system is on and set that. Time does not get set into the 
hardware clock. If you reboot, you will see the time that is stored in 
your hardware clock until vdr comes up and resets a newly received time 
from the satellite.

Regards,

Robert
