Bad form, reply to self Bla Bla Bla.
Fixed it, because all of my listings are locale I didn't have a 
universal time zone set in the .ini file for TVxb. I was telling TVxb to 
add 6 hours to the start time of all the shows but some how it knew I'm 
in +8 land and hence the problem, now I've got all my local channels at 
+8 and Mnet at +2 it works.
