you can adjust time compensation in plugin section of tvserver under xmltv.
In your case you need to input 1 hour

Strange thing, in my case this works perfect.
There´s a new xmltv importer in latest SVN (see changelog) maybe this helps you.
Can you post a small part of your tvguide.xml please, maybe I can find the problem inside the file.
If nothing helps, you can "manually" adjust time compensation:
There are lines like:
<programme start="20070914050000" channel="cnn.tvtoday.de">
in your tvguide.xml
if you manage to replace these lines with lines like
<programme start="20070914050000 +0100" channel="cnn.tvtoday.de">
by adding +0100.
and then reimport it you should have compensated your time delay.
To do this,
First open your tvguide.xml by rightclick open with editor.
choose edit in drop down and select replace
in the pop up window enter the following:
search for: 0" channel=
replace with: 0 +0100" channel=
then click replace all
You now have a time compensated TVGuide.xml file.
Import it and all times should be compensated.
I know, this isn´t the nice way, but it should work....

Do I get the latest tvserver SVN if I install the latest MP SVN or is that one located some were else... (I'm new to tvserver)
If i try to download the new tvserver (TVEngine3 Snapshot: 11-29-2007 01-37h Revision 16582) it tells me to remove the old tvserver first before installing the new one. I guess I'm looking at the wrong place!?

Hi IronMan,
I had the same problem as you with the time compensate: no matter what offset I keyed in, it was always exactly 1 hr off.
In my case if I just disabled the "Apply timezone compensation..." setting, the times were correct. (So enabling with "0" acted different as disabling the feature for me)
I also had another problem with the xmltv plugin : some channels' programs did not make it in my "TV Guide" despite the fact that the setup was correct (double checked the channel names, also was able to find the programs by opening TVguide.xml in a text editor)
I am using tvengine3-11-11-2007--01-39h--Rev16504 with MP 0.2.3.0 release for the clients.
What I ended up doing was manually installing the xmltv 2 plugin from this thread :
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/xmltv_2_source_binary_now_available-t25247.html
I am using this instead of the xmltv plugin and for me it works much better.
Hope this helps,
Johan.

I now have tested the xmltv2 plug-in but I still can not get the time compensation to work! How do you do if you for example would like to make your guide 1 hour after (if it is accurate in the first place) step by step… so I know what I’m doing wrong!
I really need the tvguide to work is the only thing that makes my girlfriend accept the HTPC instead of the regular tv receiver that we are using. =/

Hi IronMan:
To your questions:
Do I get the latest tvserver SVN if I install the latest MP SVN or is that one located some were else... (I'm new to tvserver) ?
No you have to download the latest TVserver version under:
http://tvengine3.team-mediaportal.com/
If i try to download the new tvserver (TVEngine3 Snapshot: 11-29-2007 01-37h Revision 16582) it tells me to remove the old tvserver first before installing the new one. I guess I'm looking at the wrong place!?
No you are at the right place and have to uninstall the old tvserver. Your settings should be saved (they are saved in SQL database which hasn´t to be uninstalled). So there is no update possible for TVServer like you know it from MediaPortal.
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/update_tv_server-t14910.html
The first thing I would do is to check the times in tvguide.xml.
Take a look at any program start and find out if the time is right:
For example:
<programme start="20070914050000" channel="cnn.tvtoday.de">
THis means the program started September the 14. 2007 at 14:05
Take a fresh downloaded TVGuide.xml and check times wtih any tv listing on the internet.
If times in tvguide.xml are right, disable time compensation.
If not keep time compensation disabled (or give xmltv2 a try) and correct your xml file as discribed above:
(First open your tvguide.xml by rightclick open with editor.
choose edit in drop down and select replace
in the pop up window enter the following:
search for: 0" channel=
replace with: 0 +0100" channel=
then click replace all)
the "+0100" means all prgram starts will be placed 1 hour later
if you want to make them start 1 hour earlier just use 0 -0100" channel= for replacing.
If you do so you don´t need any time compensation by MediaPortal or tvserver, because your tvserver gets a "perfect" xml file. There´s nearly no chance this doesn´t work.
Make sure the right (corrected) tvguide.xml is imported:
In plugin section in TVServer under xmltv you can see the time when the file was imported.
Make sure this is the time when you already have corrected your file.
I suggest you place the corrected file in a new folder and tell xmltv plugin to search in this folder.
Good luck and the best wishes for you and your girlfriend,
Tobi
PS.: In case of an emergency you can adjust your windows clock to get right recording times. OK this isn´t nice but maybe your girlfriend doesnt find out...
