It shouldn't be an empty string.

Can you apply the attached patch to setup, run setup again and select
None for TimeOffset? Or simply change it manually in the db to 'None'
(without the ticks).

Unfortunatelly this probably won't change anything for you, but give it
a try!

Remember to empty the program and programrating tables before running
mythfilldatabase again.

This will import the program start/stop times as they are, ignoring the 
timezone. It should result in correct times _if_ your computers timezone
match the one in the xml files _and_ the xml time spec. is actually
correct. I have seen provider listings specifying the wrong timezone
(setting it to +0100 when in fact the start/stop times were in +0200).

The 'Auto' part of the code was written by someone else to keep 
compatibility with Qt 3.0. I've been using this setting ever since
without a problem.

What is your H/W clock set to: UTC or localtime? I've set mine to UTC.

Bye, Stefan
