See this link, similar problem. Could be the station clock is off ...

No such luck. Each station is spot on and agrees with my computer's clock
(I'm using a computer as a DVR).

Where are you? How do you read the station time information? Do you
have a program that compares PSIP time with NTP time?

In the San Francisco Bay area, the stations PSIP times are all over
the place, a few off by over a minute, and one off by about 13 years.
The majority have the UTC offset wrong, as well.

As further evidence that it's internal, forcing a "reset" (holding down the
Power button) forces the stb to synchronize its clock with whatever source
(you say CBS affiliate?) it uses as its reference. That corrects the late
clock, but it continues to get slower as the days tick by.

Ideas?

Let it sync when it needs to.
