Initial Comment:
There is a problem with the new windows client with tv_grab_fi listing.

My GP-PVR doesn't work with line:
<programme start="20101212001000 Normaaliaika" stop="20101212040000 Normaaliaika" channel="1.telkku.com">
"normaaliaika" is finnish, it's normal time in english.

GP-PVR would work if the line was:

<programme start="20101212001000 +0200" stop="20101212040000 +0200" channel="1.telkku.com">

Previous version of xmltv used format +0200 and everything was fine.

Message:
That means that POSIX::strftime() is broken on your system. Here is the
code tv_grab_fi uses to generate the time stamps for XMLTV:

strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M00 %z", localtime($time))

quote from "man 3 strftime":

%z The +hhmm or -hhmm numeric timezone (that is, the hour
and
minute offset from UTC). (SU)

It seems to me that on your system "%z" is interpreted as "%Z":

%Z The timezone or name or abbreviation.

I did a google search for "Windows strftime %z" and found this:

<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fe06s4ak%28v=vs.80%29.aspx>
"%z, %Z
Either the time-zone name or time zone abbreviation, depending on
registry settings; no characters if time zone is unknown"

<http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vclanguage/thread/a87e1d25-fb71-4fe0-ae9c-a9578c9753eb>
"check this key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
and exactly this value : StandardName"

My guess that this is the registry key that controls %z?

Some Perl code you might want to checkout strftime() on your system.

Marking bug as "invalid" for the time being.
