Hi, i've installed What's on hd and it's working very well on my iPad
except for the reminders of shows. Yesterday I made reminder for a
show and it happened 30 minutes after the show began. I tested to with
a reminder of 30 minutes again and it didn't show up yet.

My timezone is Montreal since i'm near that city and the date and time
seem's alright any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hyrules

Hey Hyrules,
Can you verify your exact timezone, channel, and show?

Also, if you can provide your udid we can check into the issue a
little more in depth.

I dont know if you received my last message since it wasnt posted so
here i go again :

My timezone is right at Montreal since i'm near Ottawa.

The Show was right with the reminder that happened 30 minutes later.
It was Dr.Who at 12pm on last Saturday on space channel.
Cable Provider Videotron ( Near Buckingham) Digital. I'll tested
another reminder this morning at 9am and asked for a reminder 15
minutes before
and we are now 10 minutes before and the notification has not appeared
yet.

Oop!
Sorry, i forgot we turned moderation on to prevent spam.
I was wondering what had happened.
Thanks for the reminder email. I'll look into this a bit more and get
back to you.

Hyrules,
I checked into the issue and discovered that Montreal is actually in
EDT (-5).
Our database is reporting back that you're set to (-4).
Make sure the settings on your iPad are correct. Try switching to a
different time zone and then switching back to EDT.
If you have a 3g iPad and are pulling the time from the cell tower, it
may be incorrect. This isn't uncommon.
Let me know if this helps,
-Sid

Ok i've tried to switch to Vancouver and then I choosed Ottawa instead
of Montreal which is closer to me. I'll test and see if it's working.

Daylight Saving Time at - 4) si now at 5:07pm it is 9:07pm at GMT

I actually got a reminder to ring 15 minutes before the show... i'll
try more and give you feedback later. I had to clear every settings
and cache.

Actually no... it's still one hour behind. My message was teling you
that Montreal is really at UTC - 5 but during summer we are at -4.
Which is DST. I'm still testing the reminders.
with my actual settings.

So basically what I understand from this is that somehow What's On
doesn't take the Daylight Saving Time in account.
We are actually at DST - 4 in Québec here on Summer time.

Hyrtules,
What's On? will automatically take the time zone from your device.
Also there should be no need to adjust for DST. if you're in -5 it
should readjust to -4 when DST is in place.

Have you tried using the cell tower to set it?

Ottawa is -5.

With the cell tower i've tried a reminder at 6:25pm and the reminder
popped up at 6:42pm. The reminder was set for 15 minutes.
