How do I set Myth to be Europe/London?<br>

Since, for some reason, you want your system to run with UTC as the local time, even though that's not the local time, you need to do:<br>
<br>
TZ='Europe/London' mythbackend<br>
<br>
Like any other program ever created for *nix, you must run the program in an environment that's using the desired time zone.<br>
<br>
You do realize, though, that setting UTC as the system's time zone is not what people talk about when they say you should run your *nix computers with the clock set to UTC, right? You can set your hardware clock to UTC and set 'Europe/London' as the system's time zone. If you do, the kernel/system still stores all times in UTC, but they're actually displayed in a meaningful time representation for users.<br>
