Programme guide and time · Linux computer

For Linux computer, check the device clock, local time zone and channel mapping separately. A playable channel can still have a missing or shifted schedule.

Programme guide and time on Linux computer

Guide data connects programme entries to channel identifiers. A time-zone problem shifts otherwise useful listings; a mapping problem can leave only a few channels without listings.

A receiver plugin is not a general Linux desktop package. An Android APK or Windows executable is not a native Linux player.

Check the Linux computer setup

Platform to identify: the Linux distribution, desktop and player version
Controls used in this guide: The mouse and keyboard
Keep privately: The player’s supported playlist export and private account record

Record the distribution, player package and graphics/audio stack rather than applying a television-app reset.

Linux computer checklist for programme guide and time

Identify the stage
Compare the programme guide time with the device clock and the actual programme being shown on one channel.
Use the Linux computer route
Check the clock and time zone on Linux computer, then use the installed player’s own guide refresh or offset control if it provides one.
Compare one useful result
Use the player’s guide refresh once. If a supported per-playlist offset exists, record its original value before comparing a change.
Confirm the outcome
The schedule matches the correct channel and time, or you have a precise example of a missing or shifted listing.

Every listing is shifted by a similar amount	Check the time zone and any supported guide offset.
Only a few channels have no listings	Report the exact channels; mapping or guide coverage may be the difference.
Guide looks right but replay fails	Check catch-up eligibility and its available window separately from the EPG.

A detour to avoid for programme guide and time

Do not change the system clock to compensate for one incorrectly mapped channel. Repeated guide downloads do not repair an unsupported mapping.

What to send about Linux computer

Use WhatsApp +44 7532 814802 with the exact player name and version, the device/operating system, and what happened during the checks above. For a source problem, include its name and the approximate time and time zone.

Keep passwords, complete playlist addresses, payment information and device keys out of screenshots. A short description of the observed result is enough to start the conversation.
