Changing the Timezone

[larch]

My timezone was - Timezone: America/New_York (EST, -0500)

I'm in the uk so it borked everything to do with times (like recording, epg etc...) therefore:

Check using:
timedatectl

Find your timezone... there are multiple ways to do this the long and painfully slow way is:
timedatectl list-timezones

Of course if you know roughly where you are you can use:
timedatectl list-timezones | grep Europe

I'm in europe and want London time so in this list you would see:
Europe/London

If you already know or now know the timezone change it with:
timedatectl set-timezone Europe/London

Next create a symlink to the right timezone where 'Europe/London' is yours:
ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime

Since I'm lazy I then did the following:
yum install ntp
chkconfig ntpd on
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
service ntpd start

I actually use an internal NTP server so I didn't use pool.ntp.org but it should be ok.

Btw with this now in x86 this .... is so much easier! feel free to add corrections.
