Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Okay, well I'm guessing there's some kind of deeper problem here. I tried
that also, but it didn't work. I think you are right about there being
something wrong with my time settings on my PC. I don't know what to do about
it anymore. I don't have windows update set for automatic updates, I have to
do it myself. When I got back from a trip, the time change problem became a
problem, so I manually fixed my time, but it kept changing itself back to the
wrong time. I found out there was a patch released, so I used Windows Update
and downloaded all the recommended stuff. That didn't help, my time kept
being changed to the wrong time, I later realized it was because it was set
to sync with "time.windows.com" every night, so I turned that off, and
changed my time manually to the correct time again. Then realizing that my
guide was an hour off, as I described earlier, I tried doing windows update
again, and looked through what was still available after downlaoding the
recommended update. So I wasn't sure about whether or not it had been
installed, but earlier in this topic someone (it may have been you) posted
where to download the specific patch, so I tried that, and tried installing,
but it didn't work, assumingly because it has already been installed, so I
really don't know what the problem is anymore. I'm going to go try finding
the specific patch again and try downloading and installing it again, and see
what happens.

Doubtful, because I'm in Toronto and using Rogers too, and all my Media
Center computers are working as expected (that would indicate that Zap2It is
sending you the correct data).

Try this (at this point, I assume you have the daylight savings update
installed)
Close Media Center
Change your timezone to something else (Pacific for example) and accept
Change it back to Eastern Time and MAKE SURE the adjust for daylight savings
is selected and accept
Open Media Center
Setup your EPG again.

I've seen cases with some computers where the right settings are selected,
but the settings didn't take. This should ensure that your system is infact
set correctly.

Let us know how it goes.

I have tried this technique with high hopes, yet the guide is still off by
an
hour. So shows like the 11'o clock news are listed in the guide as being
on
at 10 PM....so if I wanted to ACTUALLY record the news at 11, I would have
to
set whatever show comes on AFTER the news to record to actually get it. So
all of my series are set to record, and they do record, but an hour
earlier
than when they are truly on. Instead of recording House at 8 PM, it
records
"House" at 7 PM, which is actually Judge Judy.

I've tried both techniques listed for this problem, the clearing all
channels thing, and then re-adding them, and the changing zip code and
changing back technique. Could it possibly be a problem with my Cable
Provider (Rogers in Toronto)??

OK, I found another trick without deleting anything.

Settings > TV>Guide > Set Up Guide Listings

Select a zip code outside of your timezone (If on the Eastcoast, select
90210(example) for a PST location; if on the Westcoast, 10965 (example).)
Select a cable provider in that teritory and do the full update of the
guide
(Mountain & Central, select the coast farthest away from you since you
usually sync with either NY or LA timezones). Once completed, repeate
the
steps and select your normal zip code and download your local guide.
This
will get everything back into sync (for now). NOTE: If you try to
update
the guide without selecting a location outside of your timezone, this
will
not work. The system must sync once to a new timezone for it to work.

Total time should take 5 min tops.
