What the time zone rules produce
| Moment | Local schedule time | UTC |
|---|---|---|
| One second before the change | 2025-10-05 01:59:59 +1030 | 2025-10-04 15:29:59 UTC |
| At the change | 2025-10-05 02:30:00 +11 | 2025-10-04 15:30:00 UTC |
The missing wall time cannot represent a programme instant
The clock moves from 02:00 to 02:30 at the boundary. Round-tripping 02:15 from local time through UTC finds no matching instant.
If the EPG shows the wrong slot
Ask for a corrected local time or the explicit UTC instant. Check the exporter before shifting the whole guide.
