[mythtv] New Problem when using remote

[Rob Chambers]

I am able to replicate these exact results. Setting the clock back to
12/31/02 solved the problem. I am also not sure about where to go with this
since I am not very good with software, hardware is more my strength but I
will continue to troubleshoot what I can.
