This is a combined FE/BE, and the timezone is set correctly. Why would
a wrong timezone even make mythtv confused about the duration of this
recording? I can see how it would cause recordings to happen at the
wrong time, but why would it make mythtv think that this 1-hour recording
is a 2-and-a-half minute recording?
