[QUOTE="GSteele, post: 149883, member: 19552"] Hi, A couple of clues to the "new" possibly intended behavoiur of the time zone compensation. The time zone compensation now also seems to take into account your own regional settings. In my case to get it to work I had to leave the adjust time zone flag ticked but leave the offset at 0. This was due to my xmltv file having the epg with GMT time even though I live in Australia where my time zone is GMT +10.
