I turned off NTPD because it's the only known "element" on my BE/FE - as
far as I know - that is able to change date/time settings on my BE/FE.
I really don't know how time could change with this behaviour.

What is happening know is:
- sometimes the BE is waking up 2 hours earlier comparing to what's
scheduled - reporting in log 1 hour earlier -  , then turning off before
the recording and, after that, it will never wake up again.
- other times the BE is waking up correctly. This happens always when I'm
at home and looking at it :)

it happens with or without NTPD turned on
