Re: How do I prevent Media Center from resetting all my timers tomorro

Maybe....

In Windows XP, not MCE, double click the clock. On the Time Zone tab uncheck Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes.

Then your computer should ignore the time change. You would of course have to manually set your computers clock to the correct time. Be sure you have the correct Time Zone selected also.

We home school and get our classes via satellite to our computer. I currently
have 49 recordings scheduled every week.

Every year, when the time changes, Media Center up and changes all my
programmed recording times, sometimes as much as two hours. It will also list
one time on the schedule, but when I click on that item, it lists a different
time. Every year, one or more blockfeeds ( a week of classes is broadcast at
a time) is messed up.

I spend a long time on the phone with a techie one year, but he never even
understood the problem. Needless to say, he didn't solve it! I am really
tired of this.

Is there any way to get MC to act as if I know what I'm doing? Or am I ever
condemned to trying to outguess this program?
