[QUOTE="smoggy07, post: 864309, member: 298987"] If I was given the choice I'd take the GPS time as gospel because they depend on having the most accurate time in order to function correctly, they take their time from atomic clocks I think That said, even the most accurate atomic clock can't tell you what time it is now, they can only tell you what time it was about 2 weeks ago (the work it all out in a chateau in France somewhere based on readings from clocks all around the world) I'd put the radio clock second, laptop 3rd The problem with TV time is (as said above) digital processing, satellite uplinking and downlinking Watch 5 seconds of an SD TV channel then flick over to the HD version and you'll be able to catch the same 5 seconds again due to the nasty delay HD encoding creates [/QUOTE]
