I didn't say to adjust the clock to account for daylight savings
time, I said to advance the clock to say 1:58 am Sunday morning.
The machine will act exactly as if it is that time and do whatever
it's going to do when 2:00 am arrives.

Certainly it's an appropriate test.  The machine has no idea if
the time arrives at what it is as a result of real time passing or
being forcibly set to that time.

Obviously, if you schedule a recording based on the program
guide, what is recorded will not be correct but *something* will
be recorded.
