[QUOTE="benicehavefun, post: 1144669, member: 149859"] Just to close the loop on my challenges with EPG data when changing time zones: Flushing existing EPG data first, by using the "Refresh DVB EPG" button under the Manual Control tab in TV Server configuration, was the answer! So the steps are: Change the Windows System Time Zone Dump all existing guide data using the "Refresh DVB EPG" button referenced above Force a full guide update in the SD Plugin by checking the box under Advanced Options in the plugin (found in TV Server Configuration too) Restart the TV Service by using the "Stop Service" button followed by "Start Service" under Manual Control (same place as "Refresh DVB EPG" Monitor the progress in TVService.log if desired by clicking on the "Open log directory" button in the upper left corner of TV Server Configuration The whole process took around an hour in my case, with about 25,000 EPG data items processed for the next 24 hours, followed by another 75,000 for future days. All recording scheduling data was maintained, although a few were pushed from one day to the next (shows broadcast at 11pm in one time zone which are now on at 12am in the next). Those shows needed to be rescheduled along with any scheduled using "Every Weekday" which is based on time slot rather than show name. My channel lineup did not change, but if it had, I would have first gone to the SchedulesDirect website to change to change the EPG data being provided before executing the above steps. Hopefully this will be of help to someone in the future! Thanks to RonD for pointing me to the "Refresh DVB EPG" button! [/QUOTE]
