How do these Radio controlled clocks supposed to work? I today bought a cheap LCD rc alarm clock from Littlewoods but can't get the clock to automatically update to the correct time. The instructions say the clock updates itself at certain times of the day from the the signal via a transmitter in Rugby. There's also a manual "receive" button to start receiving the signal immediately if required (or as soon as the batteries are inserted). The "receive" indicator will flash for about 8 minutes but then goes out without updating the clock. I thought perhaps I may have bought a faulty clock so took it back and swapped it for another one but the same thing is happening. It's been about 3 hours now and still no correct time. Any ideas welcome?
