[mythtv-users] can't seek anymore

[Robert Brewer]

Another user provided the fix off-list: my time was set incorrectly
on the frontend box.  Not sure why this affected it so much, 
but that was definitely the problem.  Actually, my time was 
correct, but my timezone database was hosed, so "date"
always showed UTC output.  After repairing that, mythtv
is seeking fine again.
