Indeed, this did not change anything, listings were again off by one
hour.

Strangely enough, when I do that I get a lot of duplicate key errors,
even when mythfilldatabase is
operating on an empty program table. I don't see any problems with the
listings in MythTV though,
so I don't suppose it's a problem.

I got an announcement of XMLTV 0.5.20, in which a number of problems
were fixed related to wintertime.
After installing this, and making sure my hardware clock was set to UTC
(hwclock --systohc --utc)
the listings were on time again.

I think it was, but to be honest, I am not sure. It is set to UTC now, and
together with the XMLTV update and your fix, things seem OK for now.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Erik
