As stated in my original post on the mythtv-users list http://www
 .gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/159850?search_string=per-
 channel;#159850), The folks at Zap2It have my program information messed
 up on some channels.  The short of it: I need to offset the guide data on
 about 10-15 channels by three hours in order to have correct listings for
 scheduling recordings.

 Attached to this ticket is a patch that allows for this for DataDirect
 listings - it includes the necessary MySQL changes in filldata.cpp, and
 also includes code to make the user-defined offset (default 0 for no
 change) in the Channel Editor in mythtv-setup.

 Three things about this patch:[[BR]]
 1. There is no support for XMLTV-based grabbers.  I have been unable to
 get data to import for them, and thus cannot even begin to start making
 the necessary changes.  If somebody could assist me with this, I would
 appreciate it.  I suspect that the change would work in the same manner as
 the DataDirect method (DATE_ADD in the MySQL query), but can't be 100%
 sure.[[BR]]
 2. Since program information is loaded and inserted in the database during
 the initial DataDirect download (when fetching the channel listings), if
 any channels have their time offset changed, then the contents of the
 "program" table must be deleted, otherwise the changes won't take effect
 until the guide data runs out[[BR]]
 3. When using the offset, there will be a gap in the listings for the
 first day, relative to how far you shift the offset.  This is to be
 expected since you're moving the data out of the expected window.[[BR]]

 This patch is against SVN HEAD as of 2005-11-25, 20:00ish (PST), version
 8041.
