Re: Wrong TV Guide is downloaded from ZAP2IT

The question is not if the time and date are correct on your computer. The question is if the time Zone and daylight savings time settings are correct because if they are wrong then your time relative to the guide is wrong.

The channel mpaaing/numbers appear to be OK. About 90% of the shows listings
are wrong.
So I assume that that the downloaded guide is for the correct provider, but
probably different times.
I've checked repeatedly - the time and date settings on my computer are
correct.
Any advise ?

Is the guide downloaded for a totally different cable provider that you can
