Nice try but times are off by a couple of hours.

For example take from DVB-S i get

<programme channel="1035.dvb.guide" start="20120512180000 +1200"
stop="20120512190000 +1200">
        <title lang="eng">ONE News At 6pm</title>
        <desc>The nation's leading team of journalists brings viewers the
latest news and sport, plus the most comprehensive weather
report.</desc>
        <category>tvshow</category>
        <category>News/Current Affairs</category>
        <!-- Cat:2-0 -->
        <!-- Unknown rating:0 -->
</programme>


>From MHEG I get

        <programme channel="1200.dvb.guide" start="20120511060000 +1200"
stop="20120511070000 +1200">
                <title>ONE News At 6pm</title>
                <desc>The nation's leading team of journalists brings
viewers the latest news and sport, plus the most
comprehensive weather report.</desc>
                <episode-num system="dd_progid">10272257</episode-num>
                <subtitles type="teletext" />
        </programme>
