Hmm, beside the garbage (caught by my patch) all tested transponders (other than ARD, 21 seconds to late) have correct time. > Some time ago ZDF had, by "law", to transmitt a very exact > 15,625kHz scan frequency for germany analog TV.

Yesterday ZDF had a gab of one day for some minutes :) With the patch, garbage (bad reception or what ever) is no problem, because those values will never be the same twice. But if a transponder is out of time (ARD and ZDF in my tests) we have no chance to detect that. Checking more than two values is useless imho. We could limit the time correction to some seconds, but if the system time is totaly wrong after a crash, we need a (very) big step asap... Kind regards Andreas B?ttger
