If you told it to, yes.

No. It has kept up perfectly. The error is no your side. Did if ever
occur to you that some software might need to be updated? Heck, even
Microsoft and Sun thought of this. Evidently, Blackberry was somewhat
more challenged.

Yes and yes.

How about using the eCS/OS2 object oriented feature of opening the clock
object and requesting help?

>And, my remark statement was changed to:

Sounds like a defect to me. Have your reported this on the eCS bugtracker
yet?

>Now eCS will leave my clock alone?

Is that a question?

I've seen this failure for both TVs, VCRs etc. I guess it has to do with
the quality of the firmware and the tuner's capabilities. Cable
connections can get in the way too, if you have one.
