On Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:06:36 +0000, Chris French I also have a Lidl
RC clock that gets it's time signal from Frankfurt. It's an Auriol
IAN 100706. Big flat round face, two rectangular windows,
wall-hanging, displays time, day, date, week no., temperature and
moon phase. Yours may be different. Somewhere in the instructions or
set-up routine there's an option to set the time zone. Just found
whe page 9. As they say, when all else fails, read the
instructions. :-) -- Chris




There are hundreds of these being sold from today - and they're all wrong
by an hour. The intructions for this clock make no mention of any means
of adjusting it by an hour, and Lidl themselves say they're getting loads
of complaints - but have no answer beyond a refund.

They're either very stupid or just assume their customers are stupid
enough to put up with defective clocks.

I assume that they were supposed to be UK specific ones, and they cocked
up somewhere.

I'm mostly just amused by it :-)
