The Touch does not contain its own battery backed up RTC. It has the
standard linux software clock, which runs off the processor interrupts.
So when the Touch powers up it does not have any correct time. It will
set it's software clock from the time it gets when it connects to an LMS
(either your local or mysqueezebox.com). It is ASUMMING that the time it
gets from the server is GMT and adds your local timezone. All the
different mysqueezebox.com servers use GMT as the time so you should
have correct time when connected to them. (assuming you have correct
timezone set).

Unfortunately many local PCs are set to local time, NOT GMT, so when the
Touch connects to a server on that machine you get the timezone double
counted. The solution is to make sure that the BIOS time on everything
with LMS is set to GMT, then the timezone stting on the Touch will do
it's job and the times will come out right.
