wrong time in SageTV

[irousso]

Hi,
I have this very strange problem which I don't know how to solve... the time in my SageTV software is one hour ahead of the time shown in my OS (which is the correct one). I was not able to find anywhere in Sage a place which you can set the time, and I always assumed it took the time from the OS. Any one has an idea how to sort out this problem?
Thanks!

I suspect that Java has your time zone wrong.

Go here and check if it is reporting the correct time zone.

You can force SageTV to use the correct Time zone by setting it in the sage.properties file.

time_zone=

For Eastern Time zone you would put EST.

Actually, I turned off "Synchronize with Sage Server" because every once in a while the system time would be off by a few minutes.

As soon as I told it to stop synchronizing with Sage server, the "floating time" problem went away.

Thanks a lot for teh replies!!
Now if I am located at GMT+02 - how should specify it in the properties?

Check out this website.

Looks like EET

Mmm... It seems like it does not care what I put in the time zone. I've put EET EST PST - it had no effect on the time - do I need to tell the program somehow to use this value instead of the Java one?

Are you making sure to shutdown SageTV before you modify the sage.properties file?

[irousso]

yes - both Sage and the Sage server are closed. When I recheck the properties file -the modification I've made is still there...
