Xbox 360 clock settings...

Hey there!

So, I just bought a new 360 (my old one died of the 3 red rings, and we opened it up - voiding the warranty since it was past it anyway - but couldn't fix it, and a month later along came the three year warranty, damn MS!), and its done all its updates and such... but for some reason it will not let me change the time on the clock! Its an hour slow, and while it lets me change this when I'm not signed into a profile, when I sign into one, the ability to change the date and time is greyed out and it reverts to being an hour behind!
I'm quite annoyed about this, not that it really should matter much, mostly because its brand new and it should be working as its meant to. I can't find any help on the support centre for the 360 on their website either... so was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or if anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks for any help guys!

    I think it gets the time off the internets (Xbox Live) - you might need to toggle on/off your Daylight Savings Time option and see if that helps.

    Yeah, I gave that a go, but doesn't help (thanks though)... seems a bit odd if Xbox Live is giving me the time for my country but its wrong...

    Im not near my Xbox at the moment but is there a time zone setting, is it pulling the time for the wrong place?

    No, it appears to be GMT, London time, which is as it should be. Usually u can just set the time yourself anyway, I don't understand why it greys out that option for me when I sign into my profile.

    Just a quick bumpety bump to see if anyone else knows more about this, if its happened to anyone else. I know its only a minor thing, but its quite annoying. I'm probably just too anal.
