Make sure your "system clock uses UTC" (or whatever it's called on  
your system) is correct for whatever you are running, then set your  
timezone. Normally you want to run your HW clock on UTC (GMT) unless  
you dual boot with windows, but if you have this set to "UTC=yes" and  
your HW clock set to local time you will get strange results.

Also, when you do get your timezones set up correctly, run  
"mythfilldatabase --refresh-all" ( I think that's the correct  
option). Just re-running MRFD by itself will not replace your  
existing data, it will just add what you don't already have in the  
next 2 weeks.
