My guess is that there is a CPU in the TV400 that is smart enough to filter 
out noise but not smart enough to know about leap seconds.  It considers 
23:59:60 to be noise and rejects it.  The following data gets rejected 
because it doesn't match the predicted time.  After a few seconds of data 
that is self-consistent, it switches to the new time.
