"More Showtimes" Times / Time Zone Issue / Discrepancy

Last night, we were down the street at our daughter's house and my wife needed something from home.  She also wanted me to check to see if the Bachelorette series was recording.  It was about 8:20 PM when I checked and it wasn't recording as I had not yet set the new series recording.  Monday's show ran from 8:00 to 10:01 (I'm on Eastern time zone).  So I started recording that episode at 8:20, knowing that she had missed the first 20 minutes.  So I used the "More Showtimes" feature to see if that episode reaired.  It will reair on Sunday but the times are off.  It showed the Monday (current) episode as 7:00-9:01 and the Sunday 6/2 re-air also shows as 7-9:01.  The Guide however, has the correct times for both as 8-10:01.

 

I haven't had time to check other shows "More Showtimes" to see if similar errors exists but can you, especially in the Eastern TZ, check to see if other "More Showtimes" are showing discrepancies between the times and the guide?

That off by an hour program time has been reported in the big thread already Dave.  When I went to more showtimes, there are red recording dots on some of them that are NOT set to record yet. Smiley Surprised

Lots of people are complaining - it is under a different topic - some people here in the East have been receiving a $35.00 credit per month -

This is scheduled to be rectified this summer.  U-Verse does one Software release per year and it is supposedly on the list for this year's update.  I have heard that AT&T may switch to two updates per year, which is better, IMO.

Looking back at other posts regarding this issue, I see that it has been going on for some three years. It is surprising that AT&T would care so little about customers who aren't in the central time zone that they wouldn't have fixed this by now.

This issue has not been going on for 3 years.  It occurred after a software update in 2013 and onlty effects customers who are not located outside of the Central Time Zone.

i've been having the same problem over the past several months.  when i search for a program it lists the program as starting an hour early.  but oftentimes, it tells me that i need to setup the recording manually after searching for a program.  very frustrating.

 

i called technical support today and they were unable to resolve the problem.  we reset all the receivers; next step is to do a full reset on the DVR (erasing all programs).  i would try that next week, but after reading all the comments here, it looks like there is a software error?

I am in the central time zone. I am having the problem on at least 2 channels, G4 and Alabama Public Television. I have reported the problem. How do I get a rebate on my bill? If I miss being recorded when I appear on Antiques Roadshow, I will be escalating pretty far up AT&T's management hierarchy! I know people. and depending on how big a boy he is, I could open a can of Roy D. Mercer's whoop a** on him. I wouldn't do that to a girl, OK?
