An Update
The forum-wide announcement about this issue has been updated with the following 2 points:
---- If Windows is up to date and java is now up to date on your PC, yet the time on your system got reset when it synced with the EPG server, you should be able to update your EPG data and get the time set correctly now. There are a lot of SageTV systems trying to get EPG updates. Due to this heavy EPG server load at the moment... if this EPG update + clock sync does not work, you can try disabling the "sync the system clock with the SageTV server" option (found in Detailed Setup -> General) and then setting your system time your self or via another time utility. You can reset that option later if you wish, once the EPG server load has returned to normal over the next day or so. - Andy

Earlier in this thread are USER-POSTED instructions on how to download Sun's patch to Java Run-time Environment (JRE) aka the VM. It's called tzupdate.jar. This procedure is a major pain in the arse - should have been automated by Sage. No need to load a whole new Java release. Of course, you'll need the MS WIndows patch too, if you didn't do that already, or get it via auto-update. The instruction to (manually) update your Guide data after getting the time patches: The only way I know of is to go to Sage's setup for the channel choices you have for your tuner. Click to turn off, then on again, one of the green dots, then exit out. This is the hack way to force the guide to be re-read. Last edited by stevech; 03-12-2007 at 12:10 AM. |

According to the linked KB article at the top of this thread, MSFT only released their update to Windows at the beginning of February. This is incredibly late IMHO. The versions of Java that included fixed TZ rules had been released many months previously...
OT: While none of this affects me being on the other side of the Atlantic, I cannot believe that the US congress are messing around with DST! the impact on organisations as well as individuals must be huge: some estimates reckon $2bn! And the reason: energy saving?! so instead of burning your lights at night for, what 3 weeks?, you burn them in the morning...

I'm just thankful that all my PCs (about 8 total) made it through the new DST. Now we're just waiting for the Sage server(s) to catch up.

Personally I'd been waiting for 1.6 to go non-beta, and apparently it has, so I'd have been updating Java anyway. I'm not terribly concerned about security issues on my HTPC, but using an ancient version of Java just to get Sage to work reliably had always bothered me. So far, Sage has been rock solid with 1.6. So . . . I'd recommend doing that over updating an older version. |

I'm pretty sure it was available before that as an optional update--and probably became a critical update in February.

Make sure to check your server time. After applying all the patches on Sunday morning, the server was fine all day - only to switch back on hour around 9pm that day and royally screwing with my Sunday evening recordings.

I tried a downloadable update rather then use windows-update. That didn't work out too well. Got home and the server didn't adjust.
Stupid windows. The last thing I want to do on my HTPC is open IE I guess the moral of the story. Don't trust 3rd party timezone patches.

Thanks, Andy,
I guess, I can stop checking server time, now. Fortunately, everything I missed has reruns today. |

I was fine all day until around 9pm at which point my Sunday viewing went down the tubes. Locked up in the middle of watching the playback of Family guy and I wasn't able to get back to Live TV as mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Missed all of the shows between 9 and 10 and anything that started recording until I fixed the problem. Not a big deal, just annoying for the WAF.
Once I applied the J2RE 1_4_2_14 (I was previously on 1_4_2_04) everything seemed to be ok after a reboot. My times went back to normal and it even got a little quicker which I'm assuming was a side effect of the java update. Just wanted to post my results...yours may vary. |

So despite having Java JRE 1.6.0, my sage EPG has been off one hour since yesterday. I assumed that since 1.6.0 was newer than 1.4.2, I was all set.
Not true - as soon as I applied the tzupdater and forced an EPG eupdate, my sage EPG is back to normal. Thanks for the helpful hints here! matt

Now that I think about it, this doesn't make any sense that updating Java would change my system clock . . . .

Question about time problems
One question:
What happens to cause your SageTV system to be *one hour ahead*??? On the morning of 3/11, my SageTV installation showed the correct time (correct time in DST). Unfortunately, between around 5:00PM and 9:00 PM (when I was scheduled to start recording things) it actually went 1 hour ahead! At approximately 1:31 DST, I set my Windows system clock back (to Eastern time!), thinking that that would correct the problem. It appeared to (though reading this forum I now know that SageTV does not use Windows system clock). But by the time I came back from work, SageTV was 1 hour ahead again! Has anyone else seen this problem? It is looking to me as if the JVM Version I have (J2SE V5.0 update 7) is actually *overcompensating* for the time zone change! I can't seem to make it stop doing this. Someone please advise... |

I'll drink to that. Daylight Savings is a ridiculous practice, though I do enjoy having more sunlight after work.
It seems that SageTV may not have tested their system properly. They're to be commended for promptly correcting the problem and, just as important, admitting their error. |
