[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase ignores timezone info in XMLTV file

[Bob]

Searching here and in the KnoppMyth forms have yielded a wealth on info 
on timezone stuff but no solution to my problem, the closest I got was
"Changing channel listing time zone for one channel"
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/60050?

I use www.tvxb.com for my listings (Philippines) and while not great 
they work, for most of my channels the listings data comes from local 
services or at worst Hong Kong which is the same tinezone, except one 
channel that is South African where the listings are 8 hours out.

tvxb has some Timezone stuff to fix this, on a per channel bases you can 
shift the time data, as you can see in the example output below it adds 
+0800 (or whatever) to the start and stop fields which mythfilldatabase 
then ignores importing the data as if the time correction wasn't there, 
is there a way round this or can anyone think of a script that could go 
through the xmltv file adding the corrections to the start and stop 
times before I import the data?

Thanks.
