[mythtv-users] xmltv time zone problem

[Nick Rosier]

Tom,

I've changed UTC to +0000 but the dates are still offset by 1h. The
local grabbings (jxmltv) have +0100, the grabbings from tv_grab_uk_rt
now have +0000. I cat them into 1 file with tv_cat and import with
mythfilldatabase but no luck.
What exactly did you change?

Rgds,
N.
