Hi Greg; I think you are on to something...when power is interrupted and restored, the Pcp powers up well before the modem has established internet access. It is crappy DSL, and it takes forever to boot and establish internet access. Up to 5 minutes, seriously. So, if PcP boots, and timezone was set previously, does it leave it alone? If not, and no internet access, what does it do? Because, what I am seeing is that time is fine before power failure, then on reboot (with no internet access at the time) it gets messed up. Then when I go to reset the timezone, everything breaks. I am almost thinking that maybe I can do this instead? Power failure, I see no time on touch, goofy time on boom and radio. stop lms. Just power down and power up pcp (while internet access is established), everyone is happy? It really is an ordeal as I described. One other thing of note - I mentioned that RP FLAC interactive (all streams) doesn't work in this state. I noticed today that while RP FLAC regular stream works, there is no song an album art info displayed. The MP3 streams are fine. I wonder what the significance is. Not sure about the world but this is happening in the Adirondacks in Northern New York, Huge Pine trees that fall down on power lines, crappy DSL on ancient copper infrastructure that can drop out for days. You pass more utility trucks than cars on windy days. But it's beautiful here...the price you pay. I'll try my idea....
