Daylight Savings Time

[Karen0302]

Hi,

I'm in Indiana and this is the first year we do DST. Is there an adjustment in Sage that I need to make? Or will simply adjusting the time zone in Windows surfice?

AFAIK, setting it in Windows should suffice for 99.99% of the programs out there, including Sage.

One thing I thought was pretty neat about the change to Daylight Savings Time and the way it was handled in the SageTV EPG (at least in my part of the U.S.) was that the time scale at the top went like this:

1:00 AM | 1:30 AM | 3:00 AM | 3:30 AM

So, the hour of 2:00 AM did not even exist.

Very slick... I wonder what happens when the time switches back? Does it just repeat the 1:00 AM hour?

I was concerned about the australian F1 pre-race/race getting screwed up because it started at 12:00AM...I realized that a 1/2hr show that starts at 12:00AM (just as the clocks go ahead an hour) is labelled as airing 12:00 to 1:30 in the guide so it looks like it lasts 1.5hrs, but in the info, it says 30min....my guide still had all the time increments though, as if there was no DST. At 12:00 am, it started recording, then the clock went ahead to 1:00AM and the show recorded till 1:30AM. And then I thought....what happens when it goes backwards? Now I'm curious....I assume it's equally as seamless?

On my timed recording setup (e.g. daily from 4-5) the time changed! It changed to 5-6!

In MS Windows, I recall that the date/time setting user interface has a tic box for "use DST". Due to your policy change, it may be un-tic'd from your initial installation.

Indiana actually has it's own timezone in Windows, so you may have to switch to Eastern Time. Just double click the clock in the taskbar and select the timezone tab.

Yeah so that didn't work out too well. I duitifully changed the Sage server and all of the clients to eastern time and checked the daylight savings checkbox in windows. Unfortunately Sage changed them back and everything recorded an hour later than it was supposed to so 24, the apprentice etc. were not recorded.

I've now disabled the 'sync system clock to sage tv server' option in detailed setup on all of the machines.

Yeah, it does repeat the 1:00AM when it goes the other way. I was actually fascinated with this as a child and remember looking in the TV Guide to try to see what they did in there but they never showed the duplicate 1AM in the fall(it was just text based listings).

I thought that they played Spring's missing hour of TV in the Fall, when the hour was put back...

I went to college in Indiana & liked the fact that DST wasn't used. Times change, I guess.
