Time Zones

Any luck sorting out the time zones for the new tracker?

Still underway.  We hope to get user profiles out today and then we'll get back to wiring up the time zones for each user.

I was just about to ask about that too 

Any joy with the time zones yet?

Not yet. We've been sidetracked with other projects.

Sorry.

Any update for fixing Time Zones?

I have a quick question for you as users.

We have the ability to just take the airtimes and add or subtract x-amount of hours so that the shows are much closer to what you would expect BUT there are some network and prime time shows (like The Simpsons) that might air at 8pm in the US Eastern Time Zone and then air at 8pm in the US Pacific time zone.

Our initial method of just adding or subtracting from the US Eastern Time Zone would mean that The Simpsons would display as airing at 5pm on the West Coast of the States. We know this isn't exactly correct, but is this what the old functionality was like? Do you recall?

Thanks!

I was happy with the old system, not too worried about the time but at least is would show on the correct day for my time zone. So a show airing Sunday 8pm US would appear Monday 1am UK.

OK we've rolled out a fix that at least gets us closer to displaying the airtimes in your time zone.

Please take a look and let us know if this is better: https://www.sidereel.com/tracker

Much better, Thank You.
