My DishNetwork DVR downloaded software to correct for the time change. No
problem here.

Our partners in the UK dialed in an hour late for a conference call today.

That's about it.

We were told about the new DST date 18 months ago. Seems sufficient
time to prepare. Only 'gotcha' so far is the 'time.windows.com'. Seems
as of this morning (3-15-07 11:23 PST), it STILL is wrong.

If that is NTP-based, it won't do anything about DST. NTP doesn't
distribute the DST flag, only the UTC time. WWV (used by radio clocks)
does include the DST flag.

The main difference is that NTP is worldwide and doesn't know the DST
dates for your area (or even what your area is), but WWV is a United
States product and only needs to know the DST dates for the United
States.

Everything was fine in southern Nevada. Cable boxes, cell phones, computers
and radio clocks all changed over.

My satellite provider had some problems with it, even moving me to double
daylight time for a bit (putting me on MDT, aka CST, even though I'm on the
west coast).

As an NTP server, it doesn't deal with local time, it sends UTC. It
also doesn't deal with DST. If it had been set off of UTC, it would
have been severely broken.

The UTC time from it was correct when I checked. If your computer
was not be properly set to understand the correct offset from UTC, the
result displayed would have seemed wrong.
