time change this weekend

[4HiMarks]

As I was browsing the guide last night, checking to see whether the football game was a 1:00 or 4:00 game, I saw it was listed as starting at 2:00. Then I remembered the time change. This situatuation came up last year on my 501 also.
As I recall, once the changover happened, everything went smoothly and timers fired at their proper times, but I would advise people to monitor the situation closely, especially if you have a timer scheduled to fire around 2:00 am Sunday.

Are you sure?

If you create a timer for next week (based on the incorrect guide info), I believe it will fire incorrectly (at least on the 501/508/510).

That's my bet as well. And you can be sure that I'm doing extensive testing for all timer cases between Saturday night and Sunday morning to gather enough data so that this twice a year problem can be fixed.

I noticed that my weekly recordings show up in the guide next week with the red dot one hour earlier than they should be. I left them alone to see if they correct themselves after the weekend.

That's sort of what I was talking about. If you create a timer
now for next week, it will probably fire incorrectly. But if you have a weekly timer that was created some time in the past, it might look like it is wrong at the moment, but after the time change all will be OK. I.e., it shouldn't be necessary to delete all your timers and recreate them after 2:00am Sun. (I hope!)

That's just what happened to mine .

That’s exactly what happened on my 921. The timer I created (using the guide) last week to record Star Trek Enterprise (at 5:00pm) on Sunday evening fired an hour late, recording the first hour of the Ferris Bueller movie that followed it (at 6:00pm). Oh Joy! :eek2:

Yea. I remembered to correct a timer on my 510 (I was still up when the time shifted). But forgot Matewan on the 921. Missed the first hour. (I'm sure HDNet will show it again - but none are showing).

It's amazing that after 3 years of PVR development E* hasn't figured out a solution to this issue. Not the actions of a company striving for success.

(and why the heck can't I shut off Mr. Blinky on the 510 - Mucked up a DVDR transfer last night - sorry, off topic - just my E* gripe of the day....)
