Check this thread ( 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_view_flat;post=122546;page=1;mh=-1;list=mythtv;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC 
) for the various fixes and workarounds with regards to the daylight 
time issue

My favorite timezone fix (workaround) is the simple "Virgin Islands" 
workaround. That's the one I use

Set your timezone to America/Virgin Islands (America/St. Thomas). 
Restart mythtvsetup; dump the programming info; run mythfilldatabase and 
you're all set until next fall...

Hopefully the bug will be fixed then.
