I had hopes that with the launch of a brand new STB, they might have finally sorted out the biannual screw up of the EPG. Sadly no. :(

Adb box or t-box? And, which channels?

The T-Box. All channels. I thought it might correct itself with an overnight update, but it is still wrong this morning.

For example NZI Business is on now (6:10am TV1), but the EPG shows it as starting at 7:00am.

Just in case it's useful, here's a screenshot.

The current time in the top left is correct, but all the programs in the guide are shifted late by an hour. You can see from the PnP that the Biggest Loser is on, but according to the guide, it doesn't start till 10am. Good morning, on TV1, starts at 9am, not 10am as the guide says.

All the Sunday shows I had set up to tape, didn't record properly.

Weird. All my Sunday programmes were recorded correctly with correct daylight saving adjustment as well.

I noticed this last night as well, however rebooting the T-box *did* fix it for me.

Thanks Davos - That's all that is required, just a quick re-start.

Hmm... I have done a restart but am still having a problem. All of my 'series link' programmes are recording at the proper time but then re-recording again an hour later. Unfortunately that meant several of last night's programmes failed. I'm concerned the same thing will happen tonight when I have two channels set to record simultaneously.

Went to watch the news tonight and discovered my box had crashed (blank screen, no response to remote). Did a restart and when the EPG came back up (took ages, ~30mins), it was now correct.

Just realised that I am having this issue also. I noticed before the reset that the scheduled recordings had adjusted themselves to the new times (eg. it was expecting to record 3news at 7pm). But obviously when the new EPG data came down after the reset, it didn't update the schedule properly and is now double-recording programs. These duplicate items result in some recording fails because the tuners are no longer free.
