| 1 | 1 | sb1066 - | If your clock is getting out of sync the best thing would be to use an ntp server. But since that require a internet connection I wrote a small script that uses the time table transmitted by the DVB providers instead. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | |||
| 3 | 4 | sb1066 - | <pre> |
| 4 | 1 | sb1066 - | #!/bin/bash |
| 5 | |||
| 6 | 4 | sb1066 - | UTC=@/usr/bin/dvbsnoop -N 1 0x14 | /bin/grep 'UTC_time' | /bin/cut -c27-45@ |
| 7 | 1 | sb1066 - | date --utc --set="${UTC}" |
| 8 | 4 | sb1066 - | </pre> |
| 9 | 1 | sb1066 - | |
| 10 | In order for this to work you need: |
||
| 11 | 4 | sb1066 - | * a DVB card in your computer (obviously). |
| 12 | * "dvbsnoop":http://dvbsnoop.sourceforge.net/ installed. |
||
| 13 | * rights to change the clock |
||
| 14 | * to have your bios set to UTC time (and correct timezone in linux) |
