[mythtv-users] Timezones and Dual Booting

[Ian]

I've always left the hardware clock on UTC, and I think that this is the 
general procedure for most.  Configure the OS to manage the timezones 
and switching to/from daylight savings time.  It will save you a lot of 
trouble, as you're finding out.  :)
