while watching one channel, myth reports i that i should be watching something else (the information tab that pops up from myth when changing the channel says a different title). i.e, when i try to record, i end up with a different show than the one that myth says i should have saved.

trouble shooting that i have done:

1) typed "date" in xterm, it reports correctly.
2) while watching live tv, i hit m. the cannel and current time slot reported are both correct.
3) using the ir blaster, it chages the channel correctly

everything appers to be correct excepet for what show is actually playing

i can't find a relationship to the channel information and what is on currently. - thanks for your help - greg

Are you certain you selected the right provider? Check zap2it.com to ensure they have the right info for your provider. If they do, you probably selected the wrong provider. Run mythtv-setup answer yes to second question and reconfigure. Once complete as root: /etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend.

You can safely ignore that line.

I had the same problems but when I ran /etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend, I got the following error:
QTime::setHMS Invalid time 28:00:00.000
QDate::setYMD: Invalid date 2935-93-02

Could this be the issue? How would I change this to a valid time?

well unless you are filming a star trek epesode I would think those time and date settings would pose a problem yes.

As far as I'm aware it isn't an issue. I started seeing the same thing and have no problems with XMLTV.

Maybe there should be a sticky made for this. I ran into this problem on 3 different installations of R4v2 on different machines(i586 and i686), even though the inital mythtv-setup goes through with no problems.

I ran into this issue today. Did you ever find a resolution?

I haven't noticed it lately, but at first I also noticed a few channels where the time slots were incorrect. Usually, off by a couple hours...

I would wait until two days prior to the day of the show I wanted to record and then run the mythfilldatabase with the force refresh option (--refresh-second) and then it would correct itself.

My theory was that it had something to do with the zap2it scrubbing getting off as it gleaned more and more info... but I'm unsure why this happened to me.

Cesman would be proud, I'm happily searching through the archive before posting. I found this on my issue, but there is no clear reoslution that I can see, although it seems to affect some people and not others, in terms of it being a hindrance.

I am getting my correct listings fine but they are being inserted in GMT instead of my local TZ which is GMT -4. I have NTP running and 'date' shows the correct date, as does the OSD display.

Anyone know the fix?

cesman recommends:
cd ./mythtv
rm -fr *.xmltv channels
date(verify time and date)
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart
mythtv-setup(delete program listing)
reconfigure
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart
exit
mythfrontend

I had this problem once and that was how I resolved it. I don't use the offset.

I had this problem as well and found out that in mythtv-setup in the "Global Backend Setup" screen (third one in "1. General" of mythtv-setup) the Time offset for XMLTV listings was set to none. I changed it to Auto and everything is fine now, except that mythtv still doesn't show me my channel names anywhere... but this is another thread... (http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1130)

... worked for me!! Thanks for posting. This thread should be sticky!
