PC time by satellite

Does anyone know of a utility program that can set the PC’s system time from the time transmitted by FTA satellites?

I use the atomic clock synchroniser, you can get it here

Don't think that you can do it from the satellite signal.

Thanks, I also use Netdate which has worked well for me for many years, but I want to set up a PC as a stand alone recorder which will not be connected to the Internet. I thought that since practically every set top box nowadays sets its internal clock from the GMT time signal transmitted by most FTA stations, I (foolishly) thought that someone must have come up with something!
