Does anybody else think today is Saturday the 3rd March ?

In FREESAT mode, is anybody else seeing today as Saturday the 3rd March? Its the same on both my P+s, so it must be a firmware issue.

I fear that Leap Day (29th Feb) has not been handled correctly - adjusting the calendar by moving a day forward instead of a day back - and that for the remainder of 2012 the fressat EPG will be useless.

I have contacted FS, and await feedback !

Yep I have the same problems, I turned on to watch the news and at the end flipped over to the EPG and it was empty, strange, then it filled with Saturdays programs .

Will keep an eye on this thread and see if you get a reply.

Same problem here aswell. Hope a reply is forthcoming from FS.

Just to update with reply I have sent out to my customers today :-

I had spotted this problem myself. It seems like the software in the box has been confused by Leap Year, because everything was fine until it ticked over into the 1st March from the 29th February. It now seems to want to jump ahead 2 days for some reason. I have informed the technical people at Fortec Star, and am waiting for a reply. We can also see if we still have the same problem tomorrow, or will it resolve itself.

At the moment all you can do is watch TV as it comes on, without the ability to schedule a recording. You can still manually record.

If you switch UK 7-day EPG to OFF in the Menu(Other Settings), the day and date will be correct, as will the 'Now & Next' program info, but obviously no 7-day EPG.

Just to let you know my EPG seems to be back to normal this morning. Date and times are correct for the 2nd \0/

Looks like the panic is over, both my boxes are now back to normal operation .

If you did by any chance change the UK 7day EPG to OFF, just make sure that User Time Setting is also set to OFF after you have reset everything back to normal settings. I noticed this seems to have changed itself once or twice whilst I was experimenting with various combinations. A Power OFF/ON cycle is always recommended when you make critical changes like this.

Cheers, he said, whilst feeling slightly relieved !
