<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I figured it out. Zap2it.com is the issue.
If put in my zip code of 31833 and pull up listings for Valley – Knology –
Digital Cable they are off by an hour. Zap2it doesn’t know of the time
zone issues in this area. Now my cable TV provider uses the same single for
Valley, <st1:State w:st="on">AL</st1:State> and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">West Point</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">GA</st1:State></st1:place>
since they are so close together. If I goto zap2it and put in 31833 (West Point’s
zip code) the channel listings are the same and in the list of providers they
even have Valley – Knology – Digital Cable but no West Point
listing. Select it and view the channel listings, they are the same as Valley’s
but in EST time. So setting the guide to West Point is the fix for it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
