LinHES Forums :: View topic - program guide times DO NOT MATCH

Sorry dude, all I can tell you is that 95% of the time when folks have this problem the offset is the one from GMT to their timezone (let me guess you live in PST/PDT?), and it's because it wasn't right when they started and filled the DB. If you run the commands below...

Code:

root@black2:~# date
Sat Oct 29 20:40:00 EDT 2005
root@black2:~# TZ=GMT date
Sun Oct 30 00:40:14 GMT 2005

and it shows the right thing, then you need to restart and purge your DB and refill it. I've provided detailed walk throughs of the steps to do this several times now.

You didn't have your timezone set correctly when you populated the database. Search for posts by me that mention "timezone" for detailed instructions on how to fix this. BTW - This is an FAQ. You really should have been able to find this for yourself by searching the forums.
