Dumb Question - but do you have to update the firmware?

(1/2) > >>

MarkinTC:
I was wondering if it was really mandatory to update the firmware for the DST change or if I can just turn off DST for automatically changing the time and do it manually.  I can change the time manually and save the $25 dollars for the updater.

One reason I ask, thats what I did, and everything I can see says the time is now correct, except for Weather Underground, for some reason they keep telling me they think the time is wrong on my weather station.  
I am running an envoy to connect to my pc but went in Weather Link and updated the time there thinking that would take care of the envoy.
Appreciate any feedback.

Anole:
What are you using to upload to WU? Weatherlink, VWS, WD, etc?
Is the time on your PC correct?

Leo:
What about your sunset and sunrise times? Are they correct?

MarkinTC:
I am using Virtual Weather Station 12.08 p13.  Yep, pc clock is correct.  As to the sunrise / sunset times.  Compared to Weather.com, I am only a couple of minutes different.
                    Sunrise          Sunset
VWS              7:31               7:30
Weather.com  7:34              7:32

Thanks

MarkinTC:
Oh, I got the sunrise sunset times off VWS, not off the console, if I look at the console, while the time is right, sunrise and sunset are off an hour.  So then I opened up Weather Link which I think shows me what the envoy thinks is going on, it is also showing sunrise and sunset an hour behind.  Guess thats why you have to do the update.
