That did the trick as far as linux is concerned, however now mythtv
itself is off by one hour. It didn't start recording '24' on time
today, and when I started the recording manually, mythtv thought it
was recording the 10 o' clock news (which is on after 24). All upcoming
recordings are off by one hour as well (e.g. it thinks it needs to
record 'Lost' at 9pm, rather than at 10pm when it's actually on).
Running 'mythfilldatabase', as suggested in another thread, did not
solve the problem.
