MythTv Schedule Problems

Hi- my mythtv database is 2 hours behind. For example, tv.yahoo.com shows an episode of twilight zone starting at 7AM , but my mythconverg DB shows it starting at 5AM. I am using the zap2it connection to populate my db. I just changed my timezone to the correct time. Is it possible to clear out the episode lineup in the DB and rerun mythfill? It appears that it will not ovewrite data but I could be wrong. Any ideas?

Re: MythTv Schedule Problems

If you're running MythTV 18.x you just run mythfilldatabase again and it will update the first and last days of information in regards to your channel lineup. It won't download the whole (13 or 14) days worth. But, if you run mythfilldatabase as a daily cron job you'll eventually work your way through it (updating the first and last days lineup again & again). I've never bothered to delete the database and start over. During this process the days "in the middle" will appear off by two hours.

I believe Myth 19 handles this differently.

Unfortunately I am running 0.19. I wonder why the offset would happen in the first place though... I may try reinstalling the DB and doing mythsetup again.

I would guess you ran mythfilldatase "before" you adjusted your time.
