I've just done a fresh install of XP and MP. The EPG is currently one hour ahead, so that it shows that currently (00:34) Channel 4 is showing "Music Rooms" whereas that doesn't start until 01:10 and what's actually currently on is "The Sum of All Fears". The clock on the PC is showing the correct time, so I'm confused as to what would be causing this.

Where are you getting the epg from, dvb or xml, dvb cannot be adjusted to my knowledge, delay for time is set in the xmltv plugin if xml.

The other thing to check, make sure the Daylight Time changes, is enabled in the clock settings, not sure of the exact wording in xp.

Also your MySQL database seem to be corrupt. Please repair it or rebuild it.

I've repaired the database now but the EPG is still wrong, showing that currently (18:45) "A Question of Sport" is on BBC1

I'm getting my EPG from DVB OTA.

I prefer to have "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" disabled, as I find XP has a habit of changing the time when it shouldn't, so I'd rather do that manually. Surely that shouldn't affect MP anyway. I've tried enabling it but it didn't help.

Did you set the clock manually or did you change the time zone? You should have done the last.

it could be btw that you have to reimport the EPG data after setting the correct timezone values.

(TV Config -> Manual control -> Refresh DVB EPG)

Not sure what you mean about the clock. The Time Zone was already correct. I just ticked the "Automatically adjust clock" button, which instantly changed the clock.

I've just found that whilst the main EPG is out, the quick OSD EPG is correct, so hopefully that'll help us narrow down where the problem is.

Regarding the Refresh EPG button, I found that even though the "Refresh whilst Timeshifting" was enabled, it didn't work until I stopped LiveTV. It's grabbing now so I'll see if that's corrected the problem in a bit.

I was referring to you manual clock correction, then you should change the timezone (so not just add / subtract an hour). When applying automatic DST, technically the timezone is "changed". DVB will also send the data containing a different timezone when in DST or not.

Hopefully this resolves it.

Hmm, now the main EPG is right but the OSD EPG is an hour behind!

All the channels in the OSD EPG also show 100%, which I believe is meant to indicate how much of the current programme is left, so perhaps that means something.
