mc2xml time is off by 7 hours

[GemPVR]

Hi everyone, this is my first post since I cannot find an answer to my problem so I hope someone here can help me. I am using mc2xml for my EPG source but the time is off by 7 hours (I am in Central Time Zone). I have tried the -u switch from the command prompt but that didnt work, I tried using the offset in the GB-PVR configuration tool when importing my xml file and that has no effect no matter what number I use scroll to, I have tried to place the u- +0700 switch in the mc2xml.dat file and forced an update from the command prompt and that didnt work. The only way I can get the xml file imported correctly is by manually replacing all the +0000 in the xmltv.xml with +0700, does anyone know how to fix this problem, thanks.

Every other time this has popped up in the past it's been because the user doesnt have the timezone set correctly on their PC.

When you set it, remember to do an 'Empty EPG' followed by an 'Update EPG'.

Wow, you are exactly right. Despite the time being correct, for some strange reason, my time zone had been changed. I will have to see what caused this change in time zone since I just did a fresh install of XP the other day and I know I had set the right zone during install. Rule of thumb for anyone having the same problem, despite time being correct, double check the time zone. Thanks sub for the quick response. But despite my stupid oversight, shouldnt any of the remedies I tried above worked, shouldnt the time offset at least work despite what time zone is set at?
