Hi Robert,

This has been working fine for a couple of years... About six months ago, I
migrated my backend to a proxmox openvz container but again, everything was
fine. I noticed yesterday that I had no guide data at all. Upon running
mythfilldatabase manually, shepherd asked me to set it up again (which I
did). I don't know why this happened. An hour later, I had guide data again
but as stated, 8 hours out of sync...

As the mythtv user the date is set to the correct time and $TZ reports
nothing (not set) though... This is the same on all my systems though...

Cheers

Phil
