TMS always reports data in UTC.
XMLTV can report data with a time offset,  but in your case appears to 
also be UTC.  (-0000)

 I have the exact same info, which means EP00004762.1334 will air on 
*2/25* at 6:30pm US Central Time.  Sounds very reasonable to me.  What 
makes you so sure it should be two days later?

I don't know how Myth works (you asked for an XMLTV expert, not a Myth 
expert),  but are you *sure* your system's time is correct? What's the 
output of "date" and "date -u".
