Re: Daylight Savings Time & scheduled recordings

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The reason people have asked about the Local/Time/DST setting is because your guide can be messed up by these settings even if your PC appears to have the correct time. Several times people have posted questions similar to yours were the PC was correct but MC was not, in most cases it turned out that they had the local or time setting wrong and had simply set the clock manually. I could set my system to Pacific Time (even though I live in Florida) and just manually set my clock ahead 3 hours. That results in my PC having the right time, but MC getting the wrong guide info since it think my show are based on the Pacific TZ. Occasionally people have had trouble when they are in one TZ, but there programming comes from a city in a different zone (via antenna).

If all your settings are correct and you have not recently adjusted them, then there is some other issue. You could try deleting and reloading the guide for grins and see if that changes anything. Rename the folder "ALLUSERSPROFILE\Application Data\Microsoft\Ehome\EPG" and then redownload the guide. Note: not sure if that is the exact path for the guide, I'm not in front of my MCE system, so I'm guessing. I have the XP 2005 version also, so Vista might be different.

Thanks for your replies. Automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time is
selected AND the system time correctly changed on the right date and time.
It is my Media Centre settings that have changed--which should NOT have.
That is the problem. Thanks.
