OK This WAS going to be for my own sanity, for people please check their EIT/Guides have updated with NZST

Fair warning.. your recordings may/will be screwed up :) Seems I am not alone going by their FB comments.

Have 3 panasonics that are still +1 and was going to ask here to narrow it down to a OTA update issue before emailing Freeview or a update to FW needed to apply the change.

Ouch, thats quite a flaw...

I would have killed my phone if it made me turn up an hour early for work today...

I think my Panasonic changed already. I haven't checked the recordings but the clock on the front is correct. Do I need to check my recordings list?

Its potentially a regional thing. Yet to determine. The giveaway is the clock that appears on channel info panel being out

No problems with my Panasonic BWT720. It's showing the correct time today and recording at the correct times.

P.S. Same thing happened last year with many STBs. You think they'd learn from past errors.

Noticed that on my Panasonic g10 plasma last night oddly enough.
Don't ever recall seeing the freeview time out by an hour before.
I think the guides were correct ie displayed what was on "now' but the time had not adjusted to DST.

No reports from the Dish TV aerialBox and satBox models unless customers have manually overridden the FV network time retrieval, it might be best to contact the Manufacturer first before Freeview as it will be likely Freeview will ask you to do that.

The monday PR crew have kicked in and asking region and models now.

But I also have Panasonic rep onto it too.

my panasonic vt50 thought daylight saving was still on well into monday.

seems on the nz models you can't manually change the time but you can on the aus equivalents.

tivo and samsung tv all changed back to standard time.

The Freeview box (network connected) is one of the few things in the house that didn't self adjust.

You would think they could get this right.

Even the Mazda 3 display and the time display on the boat self adjusted.

Yeah some prodding on the freeview FB page and some internal panasonic kicks resulted in a change being applied mid morning monday.

Despite no clear indication of 'we fixed it try now' other than "clocks should be OK, what model and where are you" a few times - magic! ;)

By monday night all was well again. Never noticed it wrong in other years.

Odd...
