Title: Guide from XMLTV an hour out??
Post by: manicfiddler on May 04, 2018, 04:14:52 pm: Hi,

Given up on OTA guide as it has been getting patchier and patchier on UK Freeview.

Currently trialling Digiguide with DG2XML to get it into JMC23.

Digiguide shows correct times, xml file generated contains the correct times, but for some reason when loaded into MC everything is an hour out.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance

PC is showing correct time as is MC.

PC location is UK, timezone is UTC (Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London).

Everything seems to match up apart from MC when it loads the data

Dont forget we are now UTC +1 - British Summer Time

Anybody else experienced this?

Thanks
