[mythtvnz] Listings 1hour out of whack

I've got this happening with the Freeview EIT data. Even after updating 
Ubuntu with the NZDT debian patch downloadable at:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=c3c4910b51ce54862544df0fcae7c81b&t=536569

Then running mythfilldatabase --refresh-all I'm still getting listings 
that are an hour out. Strange thing is, some things like the 6pm news 
appear to be right while other things (like radio shows on National 
Radio) are an hour late! EIT time is set to 'Auto' although I tried 
applying global time offsets and offsets for individual channels in 
mythtv-setup but this appeared to make no difference to the schedule 
displayed in the programme guide.

One thing I've heard is that PHP uses separate time settings and needs 
to be treated specifically to get round this NZDT issue. That would 
certainly explain why the schedule in MythWeb is 'more wrong' than the 
one on the server.
