    If I´m wrong anywhere, please tell me!

    Tell me which Countrys I should add!

    For all Livestreams in the future for 11 Countrys.

    Uber decided to choose the same date every time, so I´m doing this one.(May change)

    Link to the stream : http://de.twitch.tv/uberchannel/new

    Source: http://www.zeitzonen.de/
    (Summer Times)
    (Mostly European)
    TIMES:

    -Germany: (CEST) -- 21:00
    -France: (CEST) -- 21:00
    -Belgium: (CEST) -- 21:00
    -Russia (Moskau): (MSD) -- 23:00
    -Great Britain: (BST) -- 20:00
    -Switzerland: (CEST) -- 21:00
    -Turkey: (EEST) -- 22:00

    -Hungary: (CEST) -- 21:00
    -Netherlands: (CEST) -- 21:00

    I still think everything should be advertised in UTC+0, and then people can just use the Forum Time according to their profile settings.

    Good thing you added that disclaimer, because you are wrong. All times are off by 1 hour. Add 1 hour to each and they are correct. UTC does not observe daylight saving times because DST may be used at different times at different time zones and it may not be used at all in some time zones. For some reason, this mistake is made often.

    Yep, but in addition i think it's best to do what Uber is currently doing. First give the local time of where the stream is broadcast from, it's timezone, and then the time in UTC to avoid mistakes like this. Can't go wrong with that.
    I agree with xnavigator too, those services are really handy, at least until they are wrong :p But those sites should know what they are doing.

    Not having this conversation again. I've made a concession and included UTC by default.

    This is easy stuff to Google, and if I include a list of timezones, inevitably, I'll miss 30 and get people mad that I didn't include em. However, fully support you guys if you want to make a post for each LiveStream.

    We're a Seattle company. We'll continue to post our times in Seattle time. :)

    First on I thought it was a good idea but you changed my mind again ;)
    Ok, let this topic die like the others.

    Just to clearify. The stream will start at 13:00 PDT and that is 22:00 CEST, not 21:00, so scifispirit is right.
