It's that time again...

I have examined the raw XML for this week's feed (actually taken from 7th through 7 days) and notice that the GMT values in the 'start' and 'stop' tags of the 'programme' tag are wrong on Sunday 29th (the day the world ends...?). Whilst I can correct this in my programs, I have noticed that all guides such as the JustEPG TAP for Topfield are all wrong on this Sunday - before DST starts, times before are correct and times after are wrong. After the user adjusts for DST, Sunday is still wrong.

Eg. ABC News on 28/10 is 20061028093000 +0000 (7PM ACST in Adelaide) but on 29/10 is given as 20061029093000 + 0000 which works out at 8PM ACDST, clearly wrong. It should be 20061029083000 + 0000 (because the program does actually begin an hour earlier, GMT)

Comments anyone?

Yes - under Media Center my guide data is all wrong today.

Come on guys this happens every DST change - I thought this problem would have been fixed by now?

All my Toppy timers & schedules are also out by 1 hour!  >:( Why does this continue to happen every DST change?

I think we need to do a bit more whinging about some of these problems, surely its been tested.

Hope to see a reply from an Ice representative.

OK Melbourne's data has been fixed.  :)
