[time-nuts] US New Year countdown - accurate?

[W4wj at aol.com]

The "Time Nuts" way:

 
It's just a matter of the studio guys listening to the XM feed
and then slewing their clock to "beep" ahead, so that the XM
feed "beep" is close to the real time.
 
FYI...  NBC advances their video feed, so that it arrives out of  the
station receiver on time.
 
Another FYI...  NBC video delivered over Dish Network are  delayed
14 -15 seconds...  all that processing between the TV station
Dish/DirecTV receive site and the consumer!!

The BBC  "pips" are heard on XM. The GPS in my car flips about the same 
time as the  top of the hour broadcast. I don't know if it is perfect, 
but good enough  for government  work.
