Start with the device’s correct date, time and local zone, then inspect the player’s EPG offset. Compare several channels with an independent programme schedule. If all are shifted by the same amount, a guide setting may be involved; if one differs, its source mapping or schedule may be the relevant issue.
Why it matters
Changing the whole device clock to repair one channel can disrupt other apps and still leave the guide wrong. Broadcaster zones, seasonal clock changes and imported schedule data can each affect what the player displays.
Work through the steps
- Restore the device’s correct local date, time and time zone.
- Compare several guide entries with their published schedule.
- Apply a documented guide offset only when the pattern supports it, then recheck.
What to avoid
The useful takeaway
Keep the channel, displayed time, expected time and date in a report. A repeated one-hour shift near a seasonal change differs from one wrong entry. Do not repeatedly stack offsets in multiple settings.
