If the program guide data for a particular channel is offset by a normal
amount (i.e. 15 minutes all the time), then you can account for this in
mythtv-setup.

There's an option that on a per-channel basis, you can change the offset
that is applied before the program guide listings are inserted into the
database.

However, should the times fluctuate, then there is nothing that you can do.
