Summary: ch_search: not honoring daylight saving time

Initial Comment:
The current CVS version of tv_grab_ch_search has the CET timezone hardcoded:
tv_grab_ch_search.in:148 ## the timezone tv.search.ch lives in is, CET/CEST
tv_grab_ch_search.in:149: my constant $TZ = "+0100";

For the time being this problem will of course resolve itself tonight. :)

Message:
A workaround I'm using is using
my constant $TZ = strftime("%z",localtime);

This returns the current time zone offset.

This isn't a real solution as the dates after the change of the daylight
saving time are still wrong if they come from a run of the program before
the change of the daylight saving time.

great that you found a workaround that is working for now!
But that fix will break the schedule when you grab for days that are on
the other side of the DST switch.

Can you take a look at _pt_meo? It is converting floating localtime into
specific localtime, too. (and really simple, that's why I'm suggesting it)
That would solve all issues but one. That being invalid localtime in the
guide, like 02:30 when the clock jumps from 01:59 to 03:00.

Regards,
Karl
