MythTV time off by 5 hours!

[donpaul]

I have been fighting MythTV on a fresh Linuxmce install. Myth TV time is showing -5 hours off. I am in Eastern time zone, and the OS timezone is set properly. LinuxMCE time zone is set properly. I have been working on it for 2 days, and even did a complete reinstall with the same result. I am pulling my hair out.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2009-02-19 17:16 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York

Anyone know what I should try next?

Hi Donpaul,

Have you updated the Timezone offset in mythtv-setup?

[donpaul]

Should I set the offset?

I scheduled a recording, and it worked perfectly and on time. Also, the guide is correct, the guide show times that is. The only thing off is the actual time that Myth displays. I thought that the offset had to do with the schedules, correct?

Also, both mythweb and mythfilldatabase shows the correct time.

Correct - offset is only for the guide.. I thought that (the guide) was your problem....

Sorry not sure what else it might be.
