I couldn't find your original post by searching for "daylight"..
0.26+fixes..
At the last DST change here (UTC+12) I noticed a problem with schedule
data update (xmltv with right time format).
The 12 hrs following the DST change all programs were off by one hour.
I think this was old/previous data because..
When I wiped the schedule data & then rerun mythfilldatabase with a copy
of the xml file, the 12 hr period was then empty.
My TZ settings are correct (auto or none) & the xml file is correctly
formatted.
This possible bug would only seem to apply to +ve TZ offsets..
