Figure 3-42: Scheduling and time zones

For example, if UTC Offset is set to 60, then schedule times defined are one hour
ahead of UTC. This means that if a schedule time of 11:00 is specified, the
appropriate configuration should be loaded at 11:00 - 60 minutes = 10:00 UTC.
This method of operation is useful where there are multiple RTM devices
monitoring a transmission chain that spans several time zones, and configurations
that check features of the transport stream have to be loaded by each RTM device
at the same instant in time.
