Sorry, there was a small typo! The command is dvbdate. It pulls the time out 
of the broadcast dvb stream. It's a standard part of the dvb package (I use 
SuSE and the rpm identity on SuSE 9.3 is dvb-1.1.0_CVS20050121-9)

Then you just call (as root) 'dvbdate --set'

It's as reliable as the broadcasters are...
