Seeing some very odd problems with the freeview EIT data compared with
Sky's post the DST change over on Sunday

First up most channels 1-4 are off by an hour on freeview.

Secondly TVNZ 6 is off by 2 hours.

Hads - How much do you know about the EIT spec. How is it supposed to
handle timezones and DST changes.

A simple example is for the Sky data for Monday has Brothers and Sisters at
  <programme start="20071001193000 +1200" stop="20071001203000 +1200"
channel="1032.dvb.guide">

Freeview has it at
  <programme start="20071001203000 +1200" stop="20071001213000 +1200"
channel="1036.dvb.guide">

Now given the fact the local system will be at +1300 for DST the Sky data
is correct, or am I missing something.
