What do you have set for the mythtv-setup setting:

Your Local Timezone (for XMLTV)
Used if the XMLTV data comes from a different timezone than your own. 
This adjust the times in the XMLTV EPG data to compensate. 'Auto' 
converts the XMLTV time to local time using your computer's timezone.  
'None' ignores the XMLTV timezone, interpreting times as local.

(which should be on None)?
