Uniti clock and Daylight Saving Time

Same thing here in England with the Superuniti - I'm not impressed with the time servers - my laptop and my Squeezebox updated the time automatically

You have to add +1.00 hour to the time in the set up menu for the Superuniti. That's the only way of doing it that I know.

Same thing for the UnitiQute - it's not the time servers that are the problem, it's that there is no daylight saving option on the Uniti.

I have a couple of things where I have to go into a menu and tick 'daylight saving time' when the clocks change. I guess the Superuniti has the equivalent of that by doing the + 1.00 in the menu. It isn't any more trouble than the other method really.

These are two completely different things - by changing the time zone another peace of software, which relies on the correct time zone settings will stop working correctly. In opposite, changing the daylight saving time does not reflect the other clock settings, apart of the displayed time. Moreover, I'm expecting this to be handled automatically vs. manually, as it is common nowadays even with cheap equipment.

I thought this was part of the 3.13 fw upgrade, which I haven't applied yet - are all of you experiencing this problem at the latest fw?

DST has not been implemented in 3.13 on the Qute

My SU is on 3.13. so no, it isn't implemented on that. I still don't see what the fuss is about though - it's a 30 second operation twice a year. You're simply adding or subtracting an hour (from GMT or BST respectively in the case of the UK) to the clock display.

+1 to Jobseeker.

I have a microwave, an oven, a central heating system control, a car, oh and a watch that don't do daylight saving time automatically. Nor for that matter does the phone nor my mobile phone and they both claim they do. And I really can't get worked up about those items either. And don't get me started on computers that do daylight saving but somehow don't actually keep accurate time. 

Jobseeker are your thumbs a bit sore? 30 seconds?...........

It's because I don't have my glasses when I should

You're spot-on about phones and computers too.

Funny, but I don't use my UQ to tell the time, until I spotted this thread I was unaware that it was an hour behind! Call me old-fashioned, I use my kit as a music player!

Still, 30 secs at most and its sorted.

Now, if only I could get the weather forecast on my microwave....

Actually, the central heating timer does automatic DST, but loses about a minute a day !

I've heard of a toaster that does weather forecasts by burning the appropriate meteorological symbol onto the bread...

Chill out.....

It will sort itself out in seven months time.

How the hell is Naim supposed to know who observes DST and who doesn't on a global scale?  Come on.  Be real.

Right... same goes for my 3 PCs, 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, cable box, etc....

It isn't magic.  It is called "being connected to the internet"

There are nice people on the internet maintaining a time zone database (tz) which is freely available online and together with universal time obtained from a suitable NTP server can be used to translate said universal time into the appropriate local time, depending on the chosen time zone... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol for reference... This is the way most computers do not need twice yearly resets. A bit tougher for non-connected devices like microwave ovens (where does one get database updates, as the local choices evolve regularly, as mentioned previously). Although micro waves will probably be connected at some point soon (if not already, since some fridges are)!

Just seems a tad rubbish to me to implemented NTP without the appropriate time zone bit as well...
