View Full Version : What is the Correct Time? BoppinBruce 29-09-2005, 13:23 I have an analogue radio, a DAB, an analogue television and a freeview box. But if I switch them all on and listen to a time signal, they all give it out at different times. Maybe just a split second behind, like an echo, but which one should I set my watch to. viking 29-09-2005, 13:25 I use the "Forum Clock" Bruce, but don't mention it to the Mods. :thumbsup: cgksheff 29-09-2005, 13:28 Analogue Radio is usually going to be the most accurate. After it goes All Digital, they will do away with the pips as they will not be that accurate anymore! BoppinBruce 29-09-2005, 13:52 Blimey cgksheff you know how to hit a man where it hurts, no pips. You'll tell me next they are taking off Mrs. Dales Diary. Hopman 29-09-2005, 15:59 Digital pips can never be 100% accurate because time is needed to digitize them for broadcast and then different machines operate at different speeds to reconvert them. codeman_cas 29-09-2005, 15:59 i make it 16:48............................................. .................................................. ...................................NOW hope that helped codeman Pseudonym 29-09-2005, 16:21 Originally posted by BoppinBruce You'll tell me next they are taking off Mrs. Dales Diary.

A split second!! You must have a fancy watch with a sub-second timer. If you feel the need to synchronise you life to that level, may I suggest you ring the speaking clock.. :thumbsup: Plain Talker 06-11-2005, 16:44 Originally posted by kathythebean I'm confused.
