Yes, running the tv_grab_sn returns 1 hour offset. The way I understand 
the TimeOffset setting in the database was that mythfilldatabase uses it 
to correct the program listings with that amount. But this seems not to 
be the case, or it's not working anymore / with this xmltv grabber. I 
guess looking at the source of mythfilldatabase is my best option ;)
