I just set up my mythtv box
It runs well, records, and everything

The problem is that the times are all wrong
Something that starts at 3:00 is listed at 2:00, etc

When I installed mythtv, the system time zone was set wrong, and the time was wrong
Mythtv must have stored this info somewhere, and now thinks that the time is always wrong
I changed the time so that `date` shows the correct time
How do I change this setting?

Changing the system time is not an option, because I use this for more than just mythtv

Try these steps:
    Stop mythbackend
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop

    Deleted existing schedule using mythtvsetup

    Startmythbackend
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/mythbackend start

    Run mythfilldatabase
    Code:
    mythfilldatabase

    Start mythbackend
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/mythbackend start

If that does not work you may want to check out this thread on mythtv's forums. Some people reported that re-emerging mythtv did the trick once they had their timezone setup correctly.

If you want to delete the existing schedule, you would just use
Code:
mythtv-setup
and delete your tv listings and then rerun the tv listings query.

OR
I have a another idea too if the first doesn't work:
Code:
mythtv-setup

Select General, then move forward in the pages about three or so until you see a setting for the XMLTV listings offset. Adjust this setting to fit your needs and you should have corrected your system to the proper time.
