I can't figure it out. The time on my Mythbox is correct, but ALL my guide data is off by 5 hours. EG

Miami Ink was on today Tueday Nov 28th at 10 pm. Myth thinks it's on at 3am on Wednesday Nov 29th

It really can't be THIS hard to setup a mythtv box can it?

Figured it out. Apparently when you setup Linux, you have to give it "UTC" time not your local time.

Check your timezone setting.

knoppmyth automatically sets the time and keeps it correct using internet time servers.

If you change the time but have the incorrect timezone it will drift back to 5 hours off.

To check your time zone

Code:

root@mythtv:~# date
Wed Nov 29 09:24:48 EST 2006
