EPG Time Zone Problems Solved

An EPG showing wrong times makes it impossible to plan viewing. This is almost always a time zone configuration issue.

Why EPG Shows Wrong Times

Device time zone is incorrect, EPG data uses different time zone, daylight saving transitions not applied, or app has a time offset setting.

How to Fix EPG Time Issues

Fix 1: Correct Your Device Time Zone

Open Settings, navigate to Date and Time, select Time Zone, choose your correct zone, and enable automatic time zone.

Fix 2: Adjust EPG Time Offset

Open app settings, navigate to EPG settings, find Time Offset, and adjust in one-hour increments until correct.

Fix 3: Clear EPG and Reload

Clear existing EPG data and force a fresh download. Allow a few minutes for new data to populate.

Fix 4: Check for DST Issues

If the issue started after daylight saving change, wait twenty-four hours and refresh. Use time offset to manually compensate if needed.
