Re: Daylight saving time update

Yeah, the DST update didn't have any effect, at least on the clock in the
system tray. The displayed time is one hour behind the current DST time. I'm
running MCE 2005 and to further complicate the issue, the program guide shows
titles scheduled one hour earlier; 8 PM programs are "scheduled" to air at 7
PM. I had to record three different programs to capture one, no over-time
hockey game.

I reviewed my past updates and it appears a recent Excel patch didn't
install. Seems silly that an Excel update could wreak havoc with the system
clock and MCE shell but I'm about to cross my fingers and give it a go. Hope
it works; I'll know in the AM, I guess.

I'm confused, are you saying the DST update didn't even fix the PC time? The
the error would be the opposite way your described, if "Lost" is on the PC
to record at 10pm and begins recording at 10 (PC time) it would really be 11
as we set the clock ahead one hour. You should end up with the news recorded
at 11, since the PC still thinks it's 10.

Just for grins, have you tried turning off "Automatically adjust for DST"
and then changing the clock manually?

Someone at work didn't apply the DST update until after the fact and had the
recording messed up, the fix was we just deleted the series and then
recreated the series recording.

When I go to the link Jason posted in Feb. the page reads:
"The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this
message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search for a
Download" area on the Download Center home page"

I've run Windows Update 3 times in 3 days and the real time and scheduled
recordings (and titles) are still one-hour off. If I'm set to record lost
at
10:00 on Wednesday MCE records whatever show is on ABC at 9:00... and
titles
it "LOST". If I manually record Lost, MCE titles it "Action News Tonight",
which is th local ABC affiliate news program.

Yes ALL my settings are CORRECT, it's WINDOWS that's wrong. Does a fix
exist? Anyone? Bueller?

Hi,

I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)

Do you know where I can download the update that will handle the 2007
daylight savings time conversion?
Thanks,

Fred
