    Time zone and guide

    When i put the mag 256 in my time zone, the guide is offset by 2 hours.
    I don`t have access where you can select the country,i only can change the time zone
    Does anyone have that problem
    Thank you, B

    I am wondering if anyone has tried this, or if it may result in a workaround Fix for the MAG / DL (Stalker) EPG guide offset problem.
    I figure if it does work, the STB Time will be off, but the EPG guide data will be correct.
    I do not have any of these Units, so if someone can try this and feedback the results. /Thank You

    When setting up the MAG unit, the NTP server is usually entered as "pool.ntp.org".
    This will search for the closest time server and save the closest servers to your location.
    You cannot adjust the Timezone as it is automatic.
    You can though, enter a timeserver from another country or zone, that is offset time wise, of your guide data.
    The format URL is "xx.pool.ntp.org" where the xx is the country or region.
    Below is a list of countries that have active Timeservers in the NTP Pool;

    Find a country in the offset timezone and use the URL listed for the localization of your STB.

    I'm curious!!!
    /Thanks in advance

    We copied it and made into Sticky thread

    That is not how to use it.
    If you use Canada or US Servers, and you are in Can/US, it will still localize you to the closest Time Server in that Country, which will still be your Timezone.
    I dont have a map in front of me, but you need to use a country or region that has only timezones outside of where you are (and specifically a timezone with an offset you require).
    Example;
    I am in Mountain Time Zone(UTC-7) in Canada and I want Eastern Time(UTC-5). (-2 Hr. Time shift)
    I would use Colombia — co.pool.ntp.org -or- Peru — pe.pool.ntp.org
    The Time code would be (UTC-5) since there is only 1 zone.
    I will Post a World Timezone Map shortly.

    Strange. On a 254 there is the option to pick the country and the nearest City which in turn sets the clock.
