Mixing two different sources of EPG is usually a very bad idea.  You
really should not have the EIT option on when using downloaded EPG
data.  There are also some options for processing EPG that allow you
to offset the time when you are getting your EPG from a different
timezone - check if you have that set.  Otherwise, a one hour
difference smells of a daylight saving problem.  Is your PC using UTC
for its clock, or is it set up to use local time?  If the latter, then
that is likely the problem.  Have a look at /etc/default/rcS and check
that UTC=yes is set.
