Summary: Windows XP Time Zone

Initial Comment:
XMLTV version 0.5.34
Windows XP Pro SP1

Windows has two GMT timezones for daylight savings 
reasons. 

Setting the GMT timezone for London makes xmltv think 
the time zone is +0100 (which is added to all program 
times). 
Setting to GMT for Casablanca sets the time zone to 
+0000, which is correct.
Wetting the time zone to +0100 in windows results in 
XMLTV setting the value to +0200 which is wrong, this 
seems to be an indexing or enumeration which dosn't 
count that the first two values are both for time zone 
(+0000).

what grabber are you using?

+0100 is not a timeZONE but a timeOFFSET.

Now, timezones can be a very confusing issue.

GMT (now called UTC) by never changes in summer by definition.

In the winter, I think London is in the "Western European
Timezone (WET)" which happens to be the same as GMT. (+0000
offset)

In the summer, London follows "Brittish Summer Time" or BST
(BST is not unique) which as a GMT offset of +0100.

Do you have "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving 
changes" set in your Windows XP?
If not - then this is probably the issue (you would have set 
the PC to the right local time rather than have it adjust the 
hour for UK sumer automatically)
