toTime_t() & fromTime_t() should work just fine. time_t is always in
UTC so this would be unchanged across the wire from pre-utc merge.

Anyway, I don't know what you mean by this "the update message for
the recording list change backend message the four times are still
local even though the db versions are UTC."

Can you give the MythProto command name or just the screen you are
