Compare the TV clock, the player's guide timezone option and a broadcaster's published schedule. A consistent offset suggests a timezone or daylight-saving mismatch rather than every programme starting late.
Why this happens
The TV clock and guide data can apply separate timezone conversions. A manual offset can compound an already adjusted schedule.
Work through the steps
- Confirm the TV date and timezone.
- Compare one known programme with the broadcaster schedule.
- Review the player's guide timezone or offset option.
- Refresh the guide and compare a second channel.
What to avoid
Avoid changing the whole device timezone solely to fix one channel's bad metadata. Do not stack multiple manual offsets without recording their original values.
Know what changed
Current and next programmes should align across more than one channel. If only one channel remains wrong, record its name and guide entry for the service operator.
