I'd have expected it to check more frequently than every 11 hours, it
hasn't given problems with GMT/BST in previous years.


Roberts 93i Internet radio didn't change the time.

Mine didn't either, but one of the settings is to switch daylight
saving on or off, after which it was correct of course. It can be set
to correct the time from DAB, FM or internet, and I have mine set to
internet, so I don't know what the others would do, but it returned to
the correct time a moment after the network connection was
re-established. I wonder if it's picking up the time from my router,
because if it's going direct to a timeserver there doesn't seem to be
a setting to choose which one. My router has no setting for daylight
saving time so presumably works on GMT all the time.

I understood the checking only took place when the radio was in use,
not on stand-by.

I think the change takes place at 2am so are you saying your radio
took until 1pm? Had it been 'on' prior to that time?

It was on, I was awake at 01:00BST but asleep by 01:00GMT, I hadn't put
the radio on snooze, to it stayed on all night.

Having remained on overnight, I put it on standby and on again in the
morning when I realised it hadn't altered, it still hadn't altered by
12:00GMT so I pulled the mains lead, it came back with the wrong time,
but within a couple of seconds adjusted from BST to GMT.

To my mind this suggests it does not check very often. Maybe next
time the group could carry out an experiment (or 'expurr-riment' as
our physics teacher used to say).

I have a Revo internet radio which was on standby all night, but showed the
correct time in the morning. My car didn't show the right time until the
SatNav had found a suitable satellite - even though the DAB radio was on.

It drifts relative to real time and the time server I use on my PC

Mine never drifts. Maybe it makes a difference whether you set it to
get the time from FM, DAB or the internet?

I'm pretty sure mind won't even display the time unless it's tuned to a
DAB station.

If you listen to FM you don't get to know what time it is!

You do if using RDS.
