[mythtv-users] Recordings off 1 Hour

[Grant Swenson]

Weird, I just saw this two. My master backend was fine, but my slave
backend was an hour behind. No idea why. I fixed it with an "rdate -s"
to an rdate server.
Output from that rpm command is the same on both: tzdata-2007k-2.fc8
(Yep, F8, upgraded from RH9...so I had FC6 on there at one time.)
For the record, NTP was not running, but starting it or running it
manually didn't seem to help (I think the time difference was too much
for NTP to correct).
I lost a recording tonight...but it wasn't a big deal. (It's actually
pretty interesting when one system starts the recording, and the other
ends it...one system thought the recording was 3 minutes long, but it
was actually 63 minutes.) It would be an interesting feature request
to let MythTV handle backends in multiple timezones.
