Hey Tao, can you (and anyone else quoting times) please provide them in UTC? It's really quite irking when you're involved in a world-wide community and someone writes "4PM EST". It means you have to go and find what "4PM EST" actually means (i.e. is it a regular 4PM is or is it a daylight savings 4PM and, although I know all the U.S. time zones, many people in other parts of the world don't) and then you need to convert it to your own time zone; again making sure you get the daylight savings yes/no alteration correct at your own end too. If you're doing this regularly as part of your job it's not too difficult, but many people aren't dealing in time zones from the other side of the world on a regular basis and it's then quite difficult to work it out. If you quote in UTC (or even just put the UTC in brackets) it's then far easier for all of the DASH community (wherever they are) to convert to local time.
 

While it's not my job to do this (I'm just an enthusiast who does more than his share of promotion, I'm not getting paid  Wink ), I will take your advice into consideration. It makes sense to list times that way for a global community. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, and welcome back!
