Issues Scheduling Cablecast When Daylight Savings Time Changes

The database that powers Cablecast does not store date values in such a way that supports Daylight Savings Time. In short, scheduling programming during or over Daylight Savings Time changes is likely to create an unpredictable schedule and should be avoided.


But there is an Easy Answer

For best results, leave your schedule on default source from 1:00 am to 3:00 am during Daylight Savings Time changes. This would usually be CablecastCG or Carousel bulletin board, which requires nothing more than leaving a gap in your schedule.
