EPG problems

I have a unique problem. For the past few months, the time on my EPG has been off by an hour. I can only get current time listings if I change the time on my android box to one hour earlier. I've tried everything in the box's settings and this seems to be the only thing that works. I know it's not serious but it's a pain to have to change the time settings every time I turn on the box, and I don't understand why it seemed to happen all of a sudden.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? I've been a customer for years and never had this issue before!

Thank you!
 
What do you use, tivimate?
 
How many guesses did I get?
 
Oh wow vlc will show epg now? There should be a setting in vlc to adjust the time it displays
 
I have the same issue OP. Using an iPlayTV for Apple TV. I’ve had this setup for a couple of years now and it was only with the last switch to DST when this became a problem.
 
I had that issue last night and am in the central time zone. I set it to -6:00 and all is fine. I normally never play on anything but TiviMate.

I don't see a setting at all for EPG in VLC. I see a playlist but no EPG. I guess I can't help at all... Sorry!

I'm in Ontario, Canada EST -5:00. I've changed that as well but the time isn't right on the EPG - it shows the time as one hour earlier. The programs are accurate but the time is wrong. Not the end of the world but it messes me up sometimes and makes me think it's earlier than it is!

I wish I could help out but I normally use Tivimate and was just playing around on the PC last night with VLC. I don't know what the difference would be on VLC android, I only use Tivimate on android. You can download Tivimate at tivimates dot com for android if you would like to try it out. Download link ( tivimates dot com slash tiviapk.

Depending on what app you are using to watch tv, you can change the guide time by using the time offset plus or minus. It normally is in your epg settings. Try downloading. Tivimate, xcitv, iptv smarters, blink, as an app. They allow you to log in using extreme codes.

I haven't had an RPG is ages, I have a BuzzTV box, any ideas how I can get it back up?

EPG normally comes with your service. Go to Play Store and download an IPTV app, such as xciptv or iptv smarters. Then input your service, usually an extreme code.
 
New to Tivimate and love what I see so far. Have one problem with EPG. Need help! The Android box local time is set correctly. The EPG shows a line for the correct time as well. The problem is that what I am actually watching is 1 hour ahead and shows up 1 hour into the future on the EPG line on all channels. So if it is 11 AM and the EPG shows that I should be watching a certain program I am actually watching the program beginning at 12 noon. Is there a setting somewhere to correct this?

Is this happening on just one channel or 2?

Go to settings, go to epg, go to sources, select source, go to time offset and adjust the issue. Your done.
 
Thanks for the 2 replies. The problem happens for all 16,000 channels and the adjustment described above only changes the specific channel I am watching - I can not do that for 16,000 channels. There must be a more global way to correct the 1 hour offset I see on the EPG for all channels without having to set my local time incorrectly. I have seen other users reporting the same problem. How can it be fixed. Thanks

That's why I asked if your problem is with 1 or 2 channels. If your still interested in the answer post back
 
For anybody else that's interested if all listings in the epg are off go to Settings, EPG, EPG sources, click the name of your EPG source, then click Time offset and adjust + or -
 
Dear Ed209 - thanks for your very valuable suggestion which resolved my problem. It was a bit difficult to find, but yes it moves the entire EPG timing list forward or backward as required to get it correct. I truly appreciate your suggestion. Thanks a lot
Hope others with this problem can use your suggestion and get it working for them as well.
