Future feature if possible

Hi Steve,
Is it possible to have a timesync of the PC that is connected to 1080?
As the console is synced at least once/24h it would be nice to sync the time in the PC.

I'm not sure the console clock setting is very reliable, is it? I use the internet to automatically set the time on my PC; I find that works very well.

All self syching clocks that I have had over the years have been very accurate, longwave to Germany. Anyway from my location it works.
Maybe via Internet is the way to go, easier with 'modern' OS.

Windows syncs to an internet NTP clock by default doesn't it? time.windows.com iirc, by default it syncs one a week - again from memory.

Must be something I just enable on home builds without thinking about it then

epends on the version - Win 7 from memory syncs to time.windows.com
But, if anyone is running there own server and home/internal network, the simplest is to install a time server on the file server and then have any/all home PC's, notebooks etc sync to their home server. This way only one machine has to sync to the internet the rest sync to the inTRAnet.
