1. Yep, I found it!! It's ... -> Date and Time -> Set time -> Adjust the time zone
First time I didn't dig that deep thinking that Set time only sets time... silly me
(But now I don't have NTP working at all for some reason on neither of my machines, so I can't check if it's okay now. I've tcpdumped the outer interface on my router and can see only outgoing packages. Will have to hassle my provider then. Weird.)

2. Not only. As I wrote, I've seen it on OpenELEC, too. But on Android it didn't fix itself after reboot.

5. Looking forward to it!!!

Well, I'll try another SD card. That may be the issue. And I'm on Gentoo -- no /dev/rdisk* in there. /dev/sdh or whatever. I never have had any issues with dd before (of course, besides dd-ing to a wrong physical disk mistyping the drive letter but that's another story).

I only watch movies over NFS so far (and very few are SD content). Probably some IPTV in a pipeline. But I want to try OpenELEC. If it is as solid as Android implementation I'll go with it.

Thank you guys for your help!
