Time in NPVR Guide is off by one hour - why?

I successfully got NPVR on my new Windows 11 computer, but haven't really used this great program for months as my 10-year old Win 7 machine had "overheat" issues.

I use zap2it and then tell manually NPVR to update - I think it reads the xml file then checks channels by frequency? I use OTA as source.

The Guide looked right at first glance, but it isn't - it is off by one hour. Example - 60 Minutes on Sunday night is at 6 PM, but the Guide has it at 5 PM.  Everything in TV Guide on NPVR is off by an hour, one hour earlier than it actually is. ??? I am in US Mountain Time Zone with Daylight Savings Time.

When I look at Zap2it.com - the times are right - example, 60 Min is at 6 PM. So I seem to have that set right, and it used to work fine.

My computer clock settings are correct - time zone and Daylight = proper time on the clock in the system tray.

I looked at the xmltv.xml file in Firefox, but I can barely make sense of it, much less analyze how NextPVR uses it. I am essentially .xml illiterate - moving around in that huge file is very slow.

I am trying to attach that file, but it doesn't seem to be working. Whether I drag it over, or click and then browse, it seems to put the 9.2 Meg file there momentarily but then puts a red X on it.  Maybe NextPVR is using it as I am recording a test.  I'll have to wait until that finishes and try again. Later - Recording is done, but I still get the red X.  Guess I need help with that first! I have no idea why it isn't working. Should be simple!

I'll post this, then see if I can open it and then post the .xml file.

Help? Thanks in advance.

Trying a different browser to see if I can add the xmltv.xml file. Now in Firefox, formerly was using Opera. Still no.

Nope.  FRUSTRATING! Spiral Hell in computers!

 I drag the file onto the box - Red X.  Click in box and browse to file - Red X.

I'll re-boot and see if anything changes.

Attachments need to be zipped and under 2mb otherwise you need to use an external source. There won't be anything wrong with NextPVR the time zone will be incorrect and you need to configure your zap2xml scraper to input the correct one.

Thanks, Martin! One step forward.  Here is the zipped .xml file.
I had no clue about the size, so thank you.  All I saw was : "Your allocated attachment usage quota is . . . "

That done,  Can you help with configuring the "scraper?" If it is wrong?  The same file used to give me proper info.

All I do is run zap2xml with a -u and then my username then -p and password.

I'll try to go look at options - haven't done it for a couple years to update it and several years for the original file.  So "rusty"  understating it.

When I Log in at zap2it, with the same username and password, the TV listings I see there are correct - proper zip code and proper times for the shows.

So I assume they are what is downloaded?

Clearly I am missing something somewhere . . . hopefully somebody out there is smarter than me about what is going on. Martin helped greatly with the "should-be-simple" upload.

Your file show -0700 which mean GMT -7. If that is incorrect then you need to figure out how to tlw zap2xml what the correct one is. If it it correct the scrapping is wrong. I don't know how to help with zap2xml settings.

Do you have your Windows install set to auto adjust for daylight savings? Windows needs this enabled to be able to correctly convert between UTC and local time.

Sorry to delay my update! Fixed it then forgot about it.

Sub nailed it. I had my Time Zone set to Pacific, not Mountain, as that gave my Windows "proper" time. But it was an improper setting.

Solution: AFTER setting time zone, in Windows 11 the next step is to click on Sync! (Under Additional setting.) This step is necessary to "activate" the time zone settings.
(Attached Settings screenshot)

When I did this the computer had the proper time, and when I updated Next PVR it was correct!

Thanks, Sub and Martin!  Smile
