Whose fault is the EPG offset problem...Dreamlink or nfps?
I'm in the market for a new STB and I don't want to buy Dreamlink if it's their issue.
I don't want to subscribe to nfps if it's their issue.
Whose issue is it?

If provider has right epg must be timezone related.

I have the same issue and my timezone appears correct, showing proper time, etc.

Does the setup on the guide source perhaps check the IP address location to determine time zone? Since I use a VPN, my time zone by IP address would be different than what I put in the program.

Otherwise I have no clue why my guide is totally out of whack...

This is typically a provider issue but some boxes, or the iptv software used, offer an epg offset option to correct this. As far as I know Dreamlink does not offer the offset option, at least it doesn’t on the DLite which is what I have. If I am incorrect in this info I’m sure someone will correct me :)

i have read there was a new Firmware released, and it fixes the guide offset problem.
Look into it. check the DL Thread.
* or do a software update on the Dreamlink unit (settings)

The Dreamlink does software updates automatically on start-up. No fix yet.

I updated last time yesterday and no fix, and channels still in the wrong order, can't save favorites, and epg way wrong, dream link T+, IP66.

but not a dreamlink issue or this currently discussed issue.
Is a server URL path issue. I don't know why it happens, but your connection is not reaching the correct URL path.
Could be to do with how ISPs receive and direct traffic or something like that, but rest assured it is a URL path issue.

I have a different receiver and its off also...but it changes every once in a while; one hour off, four hours off, at random

I am still bewildered at why Dreamlink has not fixed this issue with a simple EPG time offset. I always had such respect for the coders at Dreamlink for their fine work.
