Have flashed with new image. Time seems to be ok now but will know for sure in the morning if it has fixed the problem.
Have got a few setup problems with this image but will start new thread.

Mine was also from ukdreamshop. I'll try adding config.misc.useTransponderTime=True and see what happens.
Interestingly, i watched the clock for a bit in the last hour and it was running at the right speed and then it jumped back about 20 minutes.
This morning before I went out to work I unplugged the network and sat cables to rule out outside influences and it still went wrong.

hi guys - having the same problem - clock losing time. Am on my second box and have made arrangements to swop for a third, from a new delivery, believing it to be a hardware problem with the suppliers last batch. Both cloned 800se came with the all russian image installed, first one i replaced with the openpli image and the clock still lost time, second box was flashed with newnigma and i still have the problem. Played around in all three images with settings but no joy. Sometimes when flipping channels the time on the info bar will jump back 10 / 20 sometimes 30 seconds. Hope this makes sense.

Spoke to soon. put box in deep sleep at half time in footy 20.50 and restarted it for the secind half and time showed 20.50 i then update crossepg at 20.54 show on the box and when it finnished updating the time reverted back to to 20.50 wtf.
Gonna revert back to previos image sat4fun newenigma2 when i get time to re-flash and try the file southpaw suggested as the image seems alot more user freindly for a novice like myself.

strange that jmjc - fired mine up from deep sleep at 21.00 according to the dab radio and the 800 display was bang on - now reading 21.28 at 21.58.

jmjc - u found a fix ?

[garry1312]

Does sound like maybe a bad batch. Cant the rest of use send them back.

Even if there is a fix around it if its faulty in anyway I know I would rather have it replaced than doing a fix myself.

i have had the clock not keeping time on standby
but as soon as turned on it corrects to the true time
i have also found the tuner fails on 10.729 freq on 19e
and some hd chns on 28e. also the light on the tuner shows yellow
and with a new tuner fitted it now has a green light and it finds all
the chns and frequencies sd and hd before buying a new tuner i tried a
dm800 rev J tuner and that found the frequencies , thats why i got the
new bcm tuner

Update
I reflashed back to newenigma2 SAT4FUN yesterday and only put ccams on and SGT bouquets.
It still looses time in standby but when powered up goes to the right time within a few seconds.
Have just put crossepg on and will update tommorow if time is ok. If all is well i think i will stick to this image (if it aint broke dont try and fix it).

update for u - now on my third clone, swopped it this afternoon (glad i decided to pay a bit extra and buy it local)
as i suspected, after playing around with different images, see earlier post, it must be a hardware problem.
fired it up around 6.30 and it hasn't missed a second.

[jmjc0112]

OK the time doesnt update in standby for eg if i put it in standby at 11.00 it stops at that time however it does revert to the right time when switched on.
The only tuner problem i have is with sly sports 2 it freezes every 30secs or so but have changed it to another freq and is ok now.
Should i return it for a exchange?

the time slowing down is an issue that happens if you do a number of restarts in a short space of time....throws it off somehow.. ie...restart after you install a plugin and again after another etc.

easiest way to sort this is to just install all the pplugins and do one restart. also another ways is to totally power off the box for 20 mins or so.... then start up again.. and the problem should be sorted.

[woodneyuk]

Got mine sorted.
Installed GP2 DVB Time plugin. Once setup, syncs to an NTP server on the internet while in Standby.

I'm back - after having my third box for a couple of hours and the time behaving itself i flashed it with the newnigma image and the problem returned.
the box came with the allrussian image ssl82, so all was updated.
having been busy this week i've not had time to play so today spoke to the guy i got it from and he's asked if i can flash it back to the original image to see what happens - newbie question - can i, not sure if i'm going to cause myself more grief with 'back' flashing.
