Comment(by anaerin@…):

 In theory, the MySQL part of this is reasonably simple:

 {{{
 UPDATE recordings SET
    starttime = CONVERT_TZ(starttime,'SYSTEM','UTC'),
    endtime = CONVERT_TZ(endtime,'SYSTEM','UTC'),
    progstart =
 IF(ISNULL(progstart),NULL,CONVERT_TZ(progstart,'SYSTEM','UTC')),
    progend = IF(ISNULL(progend),NULL,CONVERT_TZ(progend,'SYSTEM','UTC'))
 }}}

 The difficult part will be combing through the code to check each datetime
 check, to see if it needs to be updated or changed. However, once this is
 done, it will be a huge boon.
