DVD Recorder date error

[pauln90]

I have both a video recorder and a DVD recorder and yesterday I was out and left the video recorder on timer. Later I returned home and the recording had not been made.Thinking I had made an error I checked the video and the timing data I had inserted was there and correct.Later in the evening I recorded a programme manually with the DVD recorder.

Today I checked the DVD recorder and the date given on the disc was 2 days slow,it showed date as 1st September.Thinking about the video recorder I entered set up and found that it too was 2 days slow.

Both devices are setup to check date/time automatically.
So how come both devices can be 2 days slow if as I believe they are updated via a signal down the aerial.

Puzzling !!!

some models have to have date on auto update set for on check it out ,also mine does not seem to auto update the time with just the freeview scart in , it has to have the coaxial aerial in too, which i dont have in so i check my date every fortnight or so

They have both been in use and on auto update for several years and this is the first time this has happened
