[mythtv-users] guide time off by four hours

[matt lutz]

Bryan,

Thanks for the reply.  Even when I run 'mythfilldatabase
--refresh-today' the time is still off.  Everything as far as time
goes on the backend server seems to be okay, it's just the database
has all programs starting 4 hours after they really do.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matt
