Check the device clock and local time zone before changing the player’s guide offset. A consistent shift across many channels suggests a common time-setting issue. One incorrect channel may instead have a mapping or source-schedule problem.
What matters here
Time-zone and daylight-saving rules can affect dates as well as hours. Applying an offset in the device and another in the player can double the correction. Write down the original settings before making a change.
Work through these checks
- Compare the device’s displayed time with the actual local time.
- Check the relevant player time-zone option.
- Refresh guide data after one correction.
- Compare current and upcoming programmes on several channels.
Avoid this mistake
Do not manually shift every channel to compensate for a common device-clock error.
