DirecTV Osprey Box cannot get/keep the correct location/guide data

I have several osprey boxes throughout my house.  After a power outage or device reset, the program guide resets to approximately 12 hours in the future.  All of the devices are hardwired (ethernet) and I am not using any kind of firewall or VPN.  The only way I have found to correct the situation is to connect wirelessly to my cell phone hotspot, let the device correct itself, and then reconnect to ethernet.  I have tried EVERYTHING, including talking to support multiple times.  Please advise ...

Update:  I have continued to have problems.  Here are the steps I’ve taken:

1.  Got a new public IP address from my ISP

2.  Cancelled my DTV Stream service and registered a new account/subscription

3.  Reset/rebooted every Gemini box I have, multiple times

What I’been able to determine:

1.  I can manually set the date/time and get a box and guide to work.  Temporarily.

2.  When the box is powered off or completely reset/rebooted, the guide returns to August 20th at approximately 10:00pm

3.  The kernel version on my boxes is: 4.9333-1-27-a release-r-enc-37.3-5   DIRECTV@Kernel#1 … Sat Aug 19 2:38:50 UTC 2023

i find it interesting that the timestamp on kernel matches the time that my box resets to, each time it reboots. 

The saga continues …
