I don't think that's needed.
But I had a problem this weekend with daylight savings (here in Belgium we 
switched last sunday morning).  The script I use (tv_grab_be_tvb) to pull the 
channel information from the net ran at 1 o'clock.  It inserted the time 
information as UTC +1.  But after 2 o'clock the timezone was UTC+2.  
The system was running in UTC +2, but the information in the database was 
still for UTC +1.  So all time information was 1 hour off.  All schedules 
were recording at the wrong time.

My solution is to run the update script at 4 o'clock so it wil run after the 
time changed.
