It is confusing, isn't it.  

Unless your trying to set a VCR to record, the easier way is 
to say "noon" or "midnight"  

The time between noon and 1 pm should be stated as 00:00 to 01:00PM  
But, digital clocks don't drop the 12:00 at noon time.  Thus, 
the time flows from 12:00 to 01:00  

If you are running WIN, temporarily set your system to English 
time and log onto Yahoo's TV Guide system.  

To select a program time period you get a pull down menu that 
runs 1AM, 2AM ... 11AM, *12PM*, 1PM  ... 11PM, *12AM*, 1AM  

I might be wrong, but I think right at 12AM is noon.  And, your 
system is far less confusing!  

FWIW, if I tape a program starting at midnight, I set the 
recorder start time for 11:59 PM such to be safe!  I've 
accidently recorded soap operas instead of the movie I wanted!
