I've an old Hitachi VCR that started playing up. I now realise it's internal calendar keeps re-setting itself to 27/03/11. It means I can't set it to reliably record anything.
The instructions say it gets this information from 'prog 1' (BBC1 analogue in this case) TXT/PDC transmitted signal. I've looked at BBC1 analogue text home screen and the date's correct there.
I can correct the date manually, but it reverts to 27/03/11 after a couple of hours!
I suppose this will resolve itself when we lose the analogue signal, but I wonder how accurate the internal clock'll be without an external reference.
Any suggestions, or will I have to bite the bullet and finally get around to buying a PVR?
