............... It would be interesting to know how many units have been shipped in the few days since it was released. I assume all machines have the same problem.
I assume that is so - however few users would have noticed as only those who changed the default power saving option would see the clock. (Cost up to an extra £20 p.a. based upon +2.5w, 19 standby hours per day 12p per unit))

(Cost up to an extra £20 p.a. based upon +2.5w, 19 standby hours per day 12p per unit))I can't make those figures work; I get something close to £2 p.a.
Yep £(2.5 x 19 x 365)/1000) x 0.12
12p/unit may be a tad low though 
Small problem with locic, forgot it was the price in kw and thought the answer was in pence.
You comment on the unit price - I pay 0.1249 Euro per unit but currently get 8% off.

EDF N of Scotland customer, standard tariff. 18.9p/day standing charge 15.3p/unit. (South West 15.18p/unit).
I surpose it is all down to the energy source mix. Thats 50% more than me (mine includes VAT). I understand Germany are twice French rates. I guess price is one of the plus points for Nuclear (78% here) as well as very low CO2

The quoted prices include VAT.
"I assume all machines have the same problem"
I would assume so. My 1TB model was installed yesterday, Monday, and it shows the problem.
This is the second forum I have seen where the topic is the clock bug but contributors become diverted by the cost of electricity.
It is true that running in normal standby costs slightly more than the default standby, however perhaps not quite as much as has been suggested by some as the real cost is normal standby minus default standby.
However, that has nothing to do with the clock bug. The bug is there and it is annoying to those like me who prefer the normal standby mode.
Damn, now I have been dragged into the electricity debate.
