I guess it's up to the receiver (your playstation) to translate UTC to 
local time. So again I guess your playstation doesn't support 
timezones or it is not set.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm pretty sure the DLNA renderer is not the problem. I recently upgraded my mythbackend hardware and mythtv from 0.24 to 0.27 and the old backend worked perfectly with this same PS3 DLNA renderer, the dates displayed correctly. I didn't start seeing the dates 10 hours in the future until I switched to the new backend, so I'm pretty sure it's happening on the backend but am just not seeing any timezone setting that I've failed to set properly so was hoping to find a clue from somebody on this list.
