What does Daylight-saving schedule change mean?
A daylight-saving change adjusts local civil time according to local rules. When two countries change their clocks on different dates, the time difference between their audiences can temporarily change as well.
Why it matters
This is a common reason for a familiar overseas programme appearing an hour earlier or later for a short period. The broadcaster may keep the same domestic start time while your local equivalent moves. Use a named city or time zone with the event date when making a reminder. Fixed abbreviations and memorised differences can be misleading, especially around seasonal transitions. If every channel’s guide is displaced, inspect the device’s automatic date and zone settings. If only one overseas event moves, a genuine schedule or time-zone difference is more likely.
