Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv

It appears that the MythTV Program Guide is using some additional logic
to align the EPG data around DST changes but is using GMT rather than
local time as the base.

This is particularly noticeable in NZ where the schedule was off by an
hour until 3pm NZST or 3am GMT today.

I have been able to reproduce this problem under MythBuntu 9.10 with
MythTV 0.22, and MythBuntu 10.04 Beta and MythTV 0.23.

To reproduce from a clean install, install Mythbuntu selecting NZ as
your region and then set the local clock back to 9am on Sunday 4th April
2010.

Create a dummy Video Source with no grabber, and set the XMLTV offset to
AUTO.

Create a channel with xmltvid 1036.dvb.guide.

Then import the attached XMLTV EPG data. All programs prior to 3pm are
incorrectly loaded into the guide. For example Herbie Fully Loaded
should start at 1:40pm and has been scheduled for 2:40pm.

I have confirmed that this issue wasn't present on an older Knoppmyth
environment running MythTV 0.20 with the same EPG data.
