Guide seems to be off by an hour or two

Source: FuboTV (no other sources at this time)
The time zone on the Windows server (for the DVR) and the client (Android box) are set properly.
Mountain time.
I reinstalled the app on the Android device.
I also did a refresh on the guide database on the server,.
I'm just getting started with this system so everything is at the latest version. Everything seems to work but the guide is not accurate.

Any ideas?

Double check client device clock

Clocks on client and server are correct. (I should have mentioned that earlier)

If by "Source: FuboTV", you mean a TVE source with Fubo as the Provider in Channels DVR, you can check this website for schedule times to compare.
Channels DVR uses gracenote EPG data and the same schedules are available at zap2it.com
If you put your zipcode in there and check OTA and Cable listings, they should match what you see in Channels DVR.
Of course there will be a difference in Eastern and Pacific feeds for some channels.

If you see a difference, let us know which channels (name and number) are off.

Here are a few examples that are off by and hour or more.

I used my zip code in zap2it.com
Having an out of sync guide is a show stopper. Is the zip code to be entered someone on the Channels server or client somewhere?

AMCP 6086 Guide says a show will start at 3:30 PM. zap2it says it starts at 6:30 PM
FNC 6073 Guide says a show will start at 3:00 PM. zap2it says it starts at 4:00 PM
BBCAM 6087 Guide says a show will start at 3:00 PM. zap2it says it starts at 4:00 PM
NGC 6071 Guide says a show will start at 4:00 PM. zap2it says it starts at 3:00 PM

Not for TVE channels, only for Silicon Dust HDHR tuners.

6086 is AMC east coast feed. 6:30 PM Eastern is 3:30 PM Pacific.

So is there any solution?

What time does your guide show this starting on AMC?
Central Intelligence (2016)

Should be 4:30 PM Mountain time

150 min Today at 3:30 PM

Wierd. What does the Channels DVR web UI display for Time Zone?

Does it say your clock is exact on https://time.is

Reports 1 min 30 seconds behind

Don't know if that small a difference would cause it.
Recommend setting time.google.com as your NTP server in Windows.
