What the time zone rules produce
| Moment | Local schedule time | UTC |
|---|---|---|
| One second before the change | 2025-03-30 02:59:59 EET | 2025-03-30 00:59:59 UTC |
| At the change | 2025-03-30 04:00:00 EEST | 2025-03-30 01:00:00 UTC |
The missing wall time cannot represent a programme instant
The clock moves from 03:00 to 04:00 at the boundary. Round-tripping 03:30 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.
Other location records with this same transition include Europe/Sofia, Asia/Nicosia, Asia/Famagusta, Europe/Tallinn, Europe/Helsinki, Europe/Athens, Europe/Riga, Europe/Vilnius. Confirm the intended location from your actual broadcaster.
