The problem is that the start time is broadcast as UTC, while the
VPS time is broadcast as month, day, hour and minute, just as it would
be printed in a local tv magazine. When processing it I have to
convert it into UTC, and I do that using the local timezone
(see the processing of SI::PDCDescriptorTag in VDR/eit.c).
That explains the offset as you see it. I don't know whether there's
a way to find out the timezone offset of the tv station. I believe there
is supposed to be a descriptor for that, but it may not be transmitted...
