Why does it bug me...

...that the time as received, displayed and used by my DAB radio alarm clock runs 20 seconds behind the time as received and displayed by two radio-controlled clocks and my watch, all synched to the Rugby atomic clock?

I know that with Digital Audio there are processing delays, but can't they at least get the time to run on... er... time?

You think that's odd, I have five separate computers in my house that all supposedly sync off the same time server (I checked and put the address in myself), and there's nearly 30 seconds worth of variation even right after a sync.

Oddly that's never a problem here - my computers all read within a second of the atomic clock time. Problem with your router?

PS: Check for a large blue phone box outside your house. Your space-time issues might not be what you think they are ... :D

I wish.... Nope, no boxes.
