Manhattan RS-1933 Local Time Setting
ADVERTS 1
I thought I'd start a new thread, one that represents the current topic of Manhattan time setting.
What are the guidelines on finding a good embedded time code to use? The NBC group on AMC-18/C gives the right date and minutes but the hour is way off. Same with the NASA group on that sat. To get it right for my Central Time Zone I have to set the GMT Offset to UTC - 1:00. Whereas it should be UTC - 6:00.
Yes, by choosing this erroneous offset things come out fine but why the forced difference? Is it the time code or some bug in the receiver?
Thanks.

Proud Staff MemberIt all has to do with what time stamp the provider is sending out. Thats why once I have an accurate time I just change it to manual because otherwise its never right.
Most accurate for me is the 3ABN mux on 97W KU (11842) or the Dial Global mux on 139W. Once I get the time set via auto I change it to manual. ONly have to update the minutes about once a week as it seems to lose a little time so it may be off by 3 or 4 minutes.Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet

Thanks, Iceberg. That makes sense. I've seen other hour specifications on diff sats. Don't know why since GMT is well-defined.
The trick is to make the change to GMT Usage (to OFF) and then immediately exit out of the menu. Otherwise there is a lag in the minutes.
