Mike:

Curiously Time-Stamps with the Recordings Directory display as Local 
Times, the Database's "recorded" Field is where UTC Times-Stamps can be 
observed...  Which I assume is where MythTV's UPnP Server is pulling its 
Time-Stamps from, therefore my Question is whether Mythlink would help 
with the Patriot PBO Core's Date Sorting???
