My guess is your Backend computer is set for the wrong time zone, 
perhaps when initially configuring it (as in when installing Xubuntu) 
you used the default of GMT instead you Pacific Time Zone.  Remember to 
also configure to automatically switch for Daylight Savings Time!!

I'm also vaguely recalling in an old-old computer here I had to set the 
time zone in the BIOS.  I doubt if your computer is that old, just 
mentioning.  Also, if your computer doesn't keep the time and date when 
powering up there's a coin cell battery on the motherboard which needs 
replacing.


As for the HDPVR issue, others will be a better source of 
troubleshooting information, I'm guessing an external device so make 
sure the cable is installed fully.  I had an HDMI cable giving 
intermittent sound: ended up the connection felt tight but the connector 
body was rubbing against the chassis and needed to be shoved in a bit more.

Use 'lsusb' ('lspci' if internal) to make sure is being detected by 
Xubuntu -- if the system doesn't detect it MythTV won't either.
