[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1216271, member: 141969"] Switching to and from Daylight Saving Time is notoriously difficult for media centers and DVRs to get right. WMC got it right only half the time, and my Humax DVRs (two different models) never got it right. We can hope that MP will address this issue sometime in the future. In the mean time, I make a point of [I]never[/I] scheduling a recording that spans the clock change, or which starts less than two hours after the clock change. In addition, I schedule a short dummy recording that starts two hours after the clock change. The purpose of this dummy recording is to wake the HTPC so that it can alter its internal clock, and then decide that the start time has already passed (this happened last night), and so return to sleep without recording anything. But the [I]subsequent[/I] recordings will then be correct. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
