Surely something that starts at 1400UTC one side of DST change will start<br>

Ummm....NO. The whole point is UTC stays the same when a DST transition occurs. It is only local time that changes with DST transitions.<br></blockquote><div><br>No, a programme that starts at 8.00 pm localtime in winter will still start at 8.00 pm localtime in summer, but the UTC time will have changed because local time has shifted by an hour relative to UTC.<br>

My personal preference would have been to keep the old LocalTime version of MythTV ... The mental gymnastics of considering a 12 or 13 hour time difference between localtime and UTC are greater than where only a 0 to 4 hour change is required because there is a far greater range of times that also require a date change.<br>
<br>
Can I (tongue in cheek) suggest that it may be in order to provide a setting that allows the user to choose whether his mythtv installation time base is localtime or UTC based.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
