Title: LS-CHL 1T Time synchronization US Eastern Time Zone -5GMT and -4GMT
Post by: montr on October 31, 2009, 11:17:25 AM
   

If I synchronize the time from the internet time (time.windows.com, time.nist.gov, etc) and I adjust the offset for my location (-5GMT or -4GMT), I cannot get the correct time in my LS-CHL. The time is either exactly 1 hour ahead or exactly 1 hour behind. It does not make any sense, I cannot get hit the correct time. From -5GMT to -4GMT, there is a jump of 2 hours, not the expected 1 hour jump. To get the correct time I have to disable the internet time synchronization and click on "use local time".

 

Tomorrow, November 1, we are changing time in the US. I will check again if I can now used the network time.

 

I tried to force a firmware reload (1.07 to 1.07) but it did not fix it. I have hardware version 1.0.

 

Any idea of what is wrong?

Confirmed. That's a really wierd bug!

 

It was about 6:10 CDT when i tested this. Server used was pool.ntp.org.

 

 

TZ on LS  |  Time reported by LS=======================
GMT-5     |  18:10GMT-4     |  20:10GMT-3     |  20:10

 I'll forward that up to our developers. Since EST is GMT-5, you won't have the problem once changing it after the DST switch. I'll try to get this fixed ASAP, though.
