NTP operates in UTC. This sounds like a problem with your timezone
settings. When you run "date" does it show the timezone as daylight or
standard time? I'm not sure which pieces of MythTV operate in UTC and
do offsets on the fly and which really run in localtime, though.

So who do we have to write to abolish DST, anyway? Somehow I think
suggesting that it messed up your TV would carry more weight than any of
the myriad logical reasons to do so.
