The 1940's Smiths synchronous alarm clock in the bedroom keeps perfect time. When I need an accurate time check downstairs, the Icecrypt STB that feeds the kitchen TV displays the time when it is in standby. I guess it must get it from one of the digital multiplexes akin to how many VCRs used to get their clocks synchronised from the information on the old analogue teletext.
