How can I convert the schedules to my local time?

I selected "DST" but the time difference on the pull-down menu remains the same. Are the schedules in DST?

As long as the menu is properly set, the programming schedules are converted and shown in DST. Please note that the time difference indicated next to the city will remain as standard time.

e.g. Buenos Aires in DST

Why is "Undecided" posted in the programming schedules?

In order to provide our viewers with the same programs as those shown in Japan in a relatively same time period, NHK needs to make confirmations until the very last moment. For that reason "Undecided" is posted in the schedules until the final confirmation.
