Why is it so hard for Freeview N.Z to catch up with the correct daylight savings time?

I've not noticed any issues with Freeview and Daylight Savings Time. Programs are still recording at correct times and displayed time has always been correct. I'm using FreeviewHD UHF from Waiataruua.

What problems are you referring to?

Same. All good here. Maybe its the time on the tv your looking at. which has nothing to do with Freeview.

Not necessarily correct. Freeview has the correct time info embedded in the transmission so the clock should always be accurate. However there should be a menu item that allows you to use Freeview embedded time or set the time manually. I suspect the OP may have selected the option to set the time manually which can result in an inaccurate time display and probably lead to incorrect start and finish recording times.

Good Morning Barbara

Any Equipment should be able take the time and date information from the transmitter you are receiving Freeview from However as Biggles has mentioned the receiver may have the option to Manually programme time and date settings or retrieve from "Broadcast".

See if your User Manual mentions Date and Time and see what the process in getting the right time and daylight savings mode corrected.

I hope all this information helps, if you need further assistance please let us know :)

Kind Regards
