Guide Incorrect

[juliandracos]

So I patched my guide a few days before the time switch and then my guide is off starting after the change. I couldn't patch yesturday and today I went in and changed my time so that it would patch. Yet not that it is patched the guide is STILL off. That is, if something should be on at 7 it says 6. Any idea when this is going to be fixed? It is making it so that nothing is recording correctly.

This is really confusing and this my third attempt at trying explaining this.

Changing the guide data one hour is the fix. If you do nothing at all it will work. You may have broken it by changing your GMT time or by not restarting BTV. BTV records by GMT and the guide data show times changed relative to GMT because GMT did not change. You should have changed your time zone relative to GMT, not your time by moving the clock. If you did change the system time zone, you shoulld have shut down BTV, not just viewscape, and restart. Software programs sometimes get their own copies of environment variables, like time zone, when they start up.

The Microsoft patch changes the date when the GMT offset changes and other unknown changes. Some people may not like the patch. What do they do with your Outlook calendar reminders for instance? Say you have a phone meeting scheduled with someone where there is no DST.
