I'm running CentOS5.2 with yum updates - it's up to date. And the clock
is correct - and I didn't do anything over Sun to manually update it -
it automatically changed over. And zdump shows the changeover last Sunday.

It's got to be a myth problem. If I look in
http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/listings.xml.gz I see all the dates are still
in "+1300" and are an hour off, as we are now +1200. However, if
mythfilldatabase was actually listening to the +1300 - it would be
correct. I think it isn't using the offset - and that's why it ends up
with the wrong dates?

e.g. freshly downloaded listings.xml says of 'Chuck' (Wed 9:30pm):

start="20090408223000 +1300"

So that's actually Wed 9:30pm - which is factually correct (if humanly
confusing). However, once mythfilldatabase ran over it, the "program"
table contains

INSERT INTO `program` VALUES (2,'2009-04-08 22:30:00','2009-04-08
23:30:00','Chuck','','Chuck, Sarah and Casey are shocked to discover
that Chuck\'s girlfriend, Jill, is a Fulcrum agent in search of the
Intersect.','','',2009,0,0,'',0,0,0,0,0,0,'4848539','0000-00-00','','','','',0,0,0,1,1,'','','');

So that's Wed 10:30pm.

I'm not using the latest available atrpms version of mythtv - I'm on
0.21-198.el5 whereas 0.21-203.el5 is available. I'll update, but find it
hard to believe something as obvious as timezone changes still causes
issues?

I'm gathering no-one else is seeing this - which is boggling?
