Anyone else have a radio controlled clock...

...that is currently showing this:

?

It usually resets it time around midnight but tonight it's totally frozen and I was wondering if anyone else's clock is acting in the same way?

mine's fine

have you tried changing the battery? mine does odd things when the battery is dead.

Aye check the battery, ours does rather odd things when the battery is low (things like resyncing, stopping for an hour or more then resyncing).
It could also be having problems with the radio signal, for some reason my TV has rescanned for new/changed channels about 5 times today, which I'm fairly sure is the weather affecting the transmitters it's picking up.

Ok, I've just put a band new battery in and it tried to resync...
Then went back to showing midnight like the pic in my first post for a while and now it think it's a quarter past midnight:

I took this photo at around 4.15am, so it seems it's around 4 hours slow... :confused:

I can only assume something funky is going on with the radio signal as already mentioned...

A clock or watch that gets updated via radio signals. Supposed to be really accurate like Op's is.

Lol

Yes, I have a digital one. Its the only clock I trust.

I live near the town hall, and its not uncommon for the chimes to be 3-4 minutes out. Gets irritating! Especially as it does take weeks and weeks to correct it!
