Radio controlled clocks
 

Hi all,
I have 4 different radio controlled clocks, 2 that receive their time signals from the UK and 2 that use transmitters in Germany.

They have all worked before when the clocks have changed but none of them have altered when they should have on Sunday morning, has anyone else had the same problem ? Thanks. Oh and one of them is a wrist watch.

Sorry, but I have put this in the wrong place could someone please move it for me, thank you.

All our radio control clocks changed some time in the small hours of Sunday morning. Some use MSF (was located in Rugby but is now on the Solway Firth) and some DCF77 (located in Braunschweig, Germany).

Mine altered OK (we have two radio controlled clocks).

Thank you very much I wonder why I am stuck in a time warp ? :)

Are you anywhere near Cleckheaton? That may explain it............;)

Don't think so, where is Cleckheaton ?

Mine went bonkers with the hands going round-and-round for ages before it got synch.... that must use a lot of battery power, so maybe you have low batteries?

Well I have one clock that is analogue with hands and three that are digital and not one of them changed by itself, very strange don't you think ! :)

Watch and two clocks all changed ok.

Same happened to me on my mobile phone clock, it did not self adjust and is still 1 hr. slow. I wonder if it was something to do with the unusual timing of BST and the onset of a very early Easter ? I have a digital clock which takes its signal from a German source and that adjusted overnight.

Lead walls?

He's being bugged by NSA/GCHQ, and the microwave radiation is causing interference?

It's the other side of midnight...

That may explain it :erm:

My watch changed the talking part fine - but the hands went out of synch by five plus hours - so I've had to take the battery out to reset the hands to 12 o clock and get it to set itself up again.
