AIW PVR -- time offset problem (to catch program start) solved!

The good folks over in alt.msdos.batch.nt solved this one:

using CMDTIME3 from this link:

I had noted, as I did with my VCR, that it would seem that programming
now usually starts 30 seconds to a minute before the top of the hour;
whether this is to discourage folks from changing channels or to
frustrate recordings I don't know, but it certainly can be annoying!
I wanted to keep my PVR box's time set via the Internet but then would
have to manually adjust the time one minute ahead. Enter CMDTIME!!!

Here's the batch file I ended up using; adapt to your own purposes of
course!

c:
cd \data\software\time
cmdtime3.exe time-b.nist.gov +1 /Q SYNC >> timelog.txt
exit

I used ">>" to append the output to timelog.txt just so I can check
every now & again to make sure it's working. I use Windows 2000's
Task Scheduler to run this batch file every morning. Poof, no more
missed show starts.

A hearty THANK YOU to Phil Robyn over in alt.msdos.batch.nt, and of
course to Softshape for CMDTIME.
