Anyone else in the UK noticing that their Freeview box is still running on BST, not GMT? I've got two, and both are doing this - they switched from GMT to BST correctly, WTF aren't they changing back? I suppose I'd better check out the BBC website etc...

Later: Finally went to the right time some time in the last hour or so (between 2 and 3). I wonder how many thousand people have had video recordings screwed up as a result.

It screwed us. Turning the box on from standby and back to standby resets the clock to the correct time but it won't do it on its own.

The same thing happens after a power cut (of which we've had several before a £300 fix of our boiler), the freeview box clock reads 00:00 but turning it on and off picks up the correct time.

There was also a problem with CEEFAX who give out the Videoplus codes. They didn't reset their clock properly over the weekend leading to more unhappy punters.
