My Panasonic DVR gets it's time from the embedded time signal in the PBS
(channel 13, WNET, in NYC) station's broadcast signal.

WNET did not get the time change correct over the weekend for that embedded
time signal.   Fortunately, the DVR has a Adjust by plus or
minus one hour option.  So all was well.

Until today when WNET "fixed" the embedded time signal.  Now it
sets the to standard time and 90 seconds slow.
