I haven't read them, so I totally trust you ;-)
But Canal Satellite has little respect for the standards. See what they have
done for their radio channels !
So, if it is confirmed that they don't send their EPG in GMT, should it be
possible, in the future, to add a "Time Offset" field into channels.conf, so
that we can get a correct time on all channels ? We have also to take care
of the different winter/summer times (DST, if I remember well ?).
