Yes, this is one of the nice spinoffs of using DVB. I have it sync the
clock on bootup and in a daily cron job. Works perfectly, You need to
tune first though. Do something like:

#!/bin/bash
# Tune DVB adapter if nobody else is already doing so:
# I have a channel called Q. I think it's a radio station. It's handy
to type :-)
if [ -z `fuser /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0` ] ; then
  tzap Q &
  dvbdate --set
  kill $!
else
  dvbdate --set
fi
