 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 0.22.0+fixes22594, and MythBuntu 10.04 Beta and their MythTV 0.23
 build.

 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. After 3pm the DST
 offset is correct.

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