Time change oddity

Following the clocks going forward this weekend I noticed the Computer & mobile are on different times! :think:

Anyone had this for automatically changed times?

    Depends which servers they use. Mobiles will use the network time but your PC might use a US govt server or Windows so maybe be slightly off.

    My DAB radio and my home phone are a few seconds out.

    I have to change the time manually on my mobile (admittedly it only cost me £5 new).
    Windows is programmed to change to Daylight Savings Time at the correct time (or as soon as possible afterwards) for each country. Every week (default) a Network Time Server is contacted to set the PC time to within less than a second of the correct time.

    I have 5 clocks and 4 watches in my house and since the time change they are all at different times.
