Find programmes that continue past midnight in the guide

A programme can start before midnight and continue into the next calendar day. Guide interfaces may group it by start date or show a continuous time grid. Check the programme’s actual start and end times before assuming it has disappeared or been assigned to the wrong day.

Illustrated guide: Find programmes that continue past midnight in the guide
Why is a late-night programme shown under the previous day?

A programme can start before midnight and continue into the next calendar day. Guide interfaces may group it by start date or show a continuous time grid. Check the programme’s actual start and end times before assuming it has disappeared or been assigned to the wrong day.

Navigate the time grid deliberately

Use the player’s date and time controls to move across midnight rather than switching only by a day label. Some interfaces keep the previous evening visible while others jump to the first programme beginning on the new date. The app’s layout determines what you see.

Consider time-zone conversion

An event listed by a broadcaster in one zone can cross a date boundary when displayed locally. Keep the original zone with any time you share. A bare phrase such as tonight is ambiguous for an international audience.

Distinguish schedule and archive views

A past programme may remain visible in the guide without being playable as catch-up. If you want an archived item, check the actual supported archive control and retention window. A date-navigation issue should not be confused with missing recorded media.

Questions about this topic

Does a programme belong to both dates?
It occupies a time interval that can cross midnight, but many interfaces organise it under its start date.
Will changing the device date fix a missing row?
Do not falsify the device date. Use correct time settings and navigate the guide’s supported date controls.

Fix an EPG that is uniformly one hour wrong

A uniform one-hour difference often points to time-zone, daylight-saving or guide-offset handling. Check the device clock and region first, then any player-specific EPG offset. Changing channel mappings is unlikely to fix a schedule that is displaced by the same amount everywhere.
