Time on HR20-700 falls behind...

Recently we noticed that programmed recordings on our HR20-700 started a minute or two into the program. Just now, I noticed that the box thinks it's about two minutes earlier than it is. I have our computers set to network time reliably and the D* box is a couple minutes behind.

Is there any way to fix this?

Wow, that is truly odd. Time should be set by the sat, not anything local.

So the clock must be 2 minutes if your recordings are starting 2 minutes late.

I don't have a fix, but we've been experiencing the same clock issue this week.

I have seen the internal clock drift from its sat signal before, if I remember correctly and menu reset put it back to the correct time.

Just did a menu reset and the clock is correct. Seems like there may be a bug in the software which prevents the box from maintaining accurate time from the satellites while the box is running but obtains it when the box is rebooting.

Seems like the box should be periodically getting the exact time from the satellite and updating its clock. I don't think that's happening now.

I've been seeing this also. Time for a menu re-set.

When my HR20-100 gets about 30s slow I do a restart.
