If you have it enabled, it tells you what show(s) are currently being
recorded, along with their episode titles and start/end times.
Without my patch, the start/end times are always in 24-hour format
(presumably to save space on 16-character displays.)

While LCDProc does have the ability to display a clock on its own,
when MythTV's frontend is running, it will replace all normal output
of LCDProc with its own data (assuming you have enabled the correct
options.) One of the things it will display is the current date and
time.
I don't have access to my frontend right now, or I would tell you
exactly what setting to change; I believe it's somewhere in the
general settings, regarding date formats, not in the LCD settings.
