I don't think that's needed.
But I had a problem this weekend with daylight savings (here in Belgium we
switched last sunday morning). The script I use (tv_grab_be_tvb) to pull the
channel information from the net ran at 1 o'clock. It inserted the time
information as UTC +1. But after 2 o'clock the timezone was UTC+2.
The system was running in UTC +2, but the information in the database was
still for UTC +1. So all time information was 1 hour off. All schedules
were recording at the wrong time.
My solution is to run the update script at 4 o'clock so it wil run after the
time changed.
