Isn't the clock in a 5040 supposed to be set automatically when the unit phones home?
Yes, it's supposed to. If you force a manual netconnect from the 243-ZONES screen, you can see the "setting clock" message. If the RTV does not hang on that message, then the synch was succuessfull.

That is the correct server.
Have you looked at the NTP logs for your computer to see if everything is in order? Depending on your NTP settings, once the drift becomes greater than a certain ammount, the daemon might not actually update the system clock. You should see messages pertaining to such in the logs. It's also possible that there might be some other reason why the NTP daemon isn't updating your system clock.
Try turning up the logging level to maximum and manually forcing a synch and taking a look at the log for clues.

Is there a way to manually reset the time on the RTV?
2k's, 3k's & ShowStoppers running RTV-O/S 3.02: Yes (you have to install a slightly hacked os though)
4k's & 5k's: Nope.

If that was the case, both your RTV and PC would be wrong together and by very similiar ammounts.

Ick. Check your NTP settings as described above, you might be running into an issue where the drift is too great for the mode of operation (clock stepping) and might require a single large adjustment.
