Update to previous posting:
When the time is shown on the EPG it is the correct current UK time.
After putting C4HD back into freesat mode last night, it had gone again this morning.
I guess it is likely that all may be resolved after this weekend.

It’s not the correct UK time. It’s the time you would see on a clock that needs manual adjustment that you have not manually put back last Sunday morning.
Try a one off recording from the epg a couple of hours forward.
It is showing the same time as one that was manually corrected. However the box itself thinks it is still BST. If you look at the screen grab I uploaded you can clearly see the issue.
It should correct itself (7 days late) in the early hours of this Sunday. If you look at the CF what date did it last do an overnight housekeeping ?
If you have series recordings accurate recordings due to record before and including saturday they will fail. Because the box will start looking for the recording start 1 hr earlier than it should. This also applies to the 3am housekeeping boot.
You will to re-enter any series recordings after the box has switched to GMT.
Hi Graham,
I have re-added C4HD for tonight, and programmed a recording for tonight, but for an hour later, as if it is BST. If it fails, no worries.
I will report back tomorrow with the result!

Same here. I had CH4-HD and Freesports HD added to the Freesat EPG via the custom firmware and noticed they’d disappeared on Weds. I did a system reset in case something had become corrupted and then put them both back, and this morning they were gone again!
I re-ran the custom firmware this morning and added them again, but I’ll switch the box off at the mains overnight so they don’t get wiped off again until the bug sorts itself out on Saturday night. At least I know it’s not a problem with my equipment.

Before all this happened. Already found that if you let the box do it’s overnight housekeeping at 03:00 it deletes the schedule file created to store manual recordings in non freesat mode and recreates it without the channel editor additions to non-freesat mode. You can avoid this by setting a recording on channel4-HD starting at 03:00 or setting a wake up timer at 03:00 and the off at 03:15.
Both of which of course stop the overnight housekeeping at 03:00.
I had such a timer so the lcn channel switch ITV-HD to SD did not happen. I had to do a reset to get this info into the database.
Need to experiment but guessing the this file needs saving as another before housekeeping and restoring after. Raydon seems to be no longer active on forum.

I seem to recall that the Housekeeping run is identified by run time and a flag set, which I think is used to trigger merging of freesat updates with manual channel editor changes.

As predicted by Graham, the recording started an hour later than it should have.
Hopefully everything will be back to normal tomorrow/Monday!
Off topic I have a radio controlled clock which is supposed to auto change from BST to GMT. It did not. I had to do it manually. Guessing the bug is likely to be on a lot more kit.
My central heating controller did, bedroom alarm clock did not.
Smart bedroom radiator thermostatic valve did not, Needed to adjust time and date
Awaiting tomorow morning. with Best guess I will need to adjust the hour again on the wireless clock.
.I guess there are lots of other kits out there caught out by this anomaly.
Weather conditions and / or nearby electronic kit can interfere with a radio-controlled clock doing its automatic update. I have a clock which only updates if the Youview box it is near is in full standby. Move it a foot further away and it then updates.
My Foxsat-HDR updated to GMT overnight and carried out a overnight housekeeping. Just need to check what happens when CH4-HD is moved to Freesat mode.
As Graham, back OK to GMT.
Had to re-add C4HD by doing non-freesat scan, and then adding it back using CF.

Can you post if it’s still there tomorrow morning. I haven’t got round to adding it back.
I had added Freesports HD and CH4 HD back to the Freesat EPG and left the box in standby overnight and they were still there this morning, so it looks like the issue is sorted now.
