EmuNaiton-sc rev 939.1
C&P:
This release grows out of a number of requests I received for the feature to set the time clock in the pc from the sat stream. Playing with the race condition identified and resolved a version back or two was an interesting learning experience and while resolving that, the idea of getting back to this function seemed to go hand in hand.

Different hardware seems to drift from reality at different rates. Some will find this useful and others will not. If you don't find useful, leave it turned off and it will leave you no pain. I'll tell ya this, comparing my pc time to the wwv National Bureau of Standards radio time base on 10 MHz, my clock is absolutly DEAD ON within a tiny fraction of a second.

================================================== ==============
rev 939.1
Added set computer time and date from the sat stream. Never have a recording start at the wrong time again. New ini file entry needed under [Menu Options] SetClock=1 to set the clock on first channel tune. Menu item, under 'options', turns function on/off and menu item to set clock now.

N.B. Your computer is keeping its clock in UTC, formerly known as GMT. Windows calculates local time from UTC. Depending on your time zone, its 'tomorrow' around 7:00 or 8:00 in the evening. Console display of time set is in UTC, so don't be surprised by it being 'tomorrow' before it seems to be so, in your local time.

N.B. Vista users, program app must "Run As Administrator" for time set to work. If you have not already been running as admin you MAY need to copy the contents of \users\{yourusername}\appdata\local\virtualstore\p rogram files\dvbprogramname\ including its subdirectories to \program files\{dvbprogramname} to maintain your settings. If you try to set the time in Vista without admin privileges, it will tell you that you have and the function will turn itself off.

If you don't want to futz with Admin mode, then don't, SetClock=0 in ini and the whole thing is ignored
