I'm in Boise ID, I don't know how to tell if it's set to UTC... I just ran
'date -u' and it spit out:
Fri Apr  7 14:25:06 UTC 2006
Currently in Boise, it's 8:25am so it looks like it's configured for
UTC...?  My clock does account for DST but the programming information is an
hour behind so stuff that comes on a 10pm normally, the program guide shows
as coming on a 9pm.  I am running NTP on startup to sync with a server on
the internet.  I believe the clock is setup correctly, am I wrong?


Do you have the system shutdown at any time? Do you dual-boot with

I don't have the system shutdown at all,  it's on constantly.  I do not have
dual-boot, it's a linux only system.  My clock shows the correct time...
just running 'date' shows:
Fri Apr  7 08:29:20 MDT 2006
Which is the current time.

My problem with this is that I used "mythfilldatabase --refresh-all" to
correct the programming information (that seemed to break due to DST) and I
verified after I ran it that it was corrected in the EPG, then sometime
later it got screwed up again (before the programs recoded) and I didn't do
anything to cause it.  I'm thinking there's some code somewhere that caches
the EPG info for the backend or something.  When I go backward in time to
see how it was set up it's still broken...

Thanks,
-Greg
