Panny DVD still on BST
 

Hi all,

Neighbour has a Panasonic DMRES 20 DVD recorder.

Its around 18 months old and has been through two or three GMT/BST
toggles with no problems.

Not this time.

Time and EPG are still both 1 hour out.

Manually reset the clock, but the EPG was still in error

Did a factory reset - it came back with clock and EPG still an hour
out.

She's left it on standby, with clock update set to 'auto' and still no
progress.

She accepts that if the clock and EPG are both in error she can record
things, but that's not the point.

Being female she has RTFM - nothing relevant found.

Nothing on Panny's website.

Any ideas please ?

Switch it to manual and then back to automatic that /sometimes/ cures the
problem.

I've got the same issue with the generic USB digital TV stick I got
from Riverstreams. The PC time is correct and there is no way to set
the time on the device or in the EPG. The only way to record what you
want is to select the 'wrong' programme in the right time slot and
then use the 'edit record' facility to lenthen or shorten the
recording....unless anyone knows differently?

TIA

PS...and 'no' I'm not going to change the time on the PC because the
correct timestamp on emails can be a very useful audit trail.

Tried that - it didn't work.

Then found someone else on the web with the same problem.

Both his machine and my neighbours have also inherited another effect
since the GMT switchover:

The DVD recorder has become very sluggish to respond to the remote.
Whereas the EPG would appear within a second or two on pressing the
button, it now takes almost ten seconds to respond.

Something very weird here.

Finally solved problem.

Unplugged it from the main for an hour

Time error and sluggishness cured after power up.

A bit obvious I guess, but I would have thought that a factory reset
should have solved the problem.
