[SOLVED]VLC DVB-T EPG timezone

Hi. I've been wondering for a while how to fix this issue. If I'm guessing right, the timezone for VLC program guide appears to be GMT instead of GMT+2 . Just like in this screenshot:

The red line which represents current time is correct (approx. 19:25)
For example the right time for "Karību jūras pirāti: Pasaules malā" should be 20:00-23:25 instead of 18:00-21:25.
System time is correct, and no I've had no other timezone issues in any other application.
Thanks!

I don't have my tv tuner handy so I can't reproduce the issue.

The only thing I could suggest at the moment would be to try watching tv with tvheadend or checking the epg with atsc_epg (in linuxtv-dvb-apps) and see if the times are correct or not on that.

Re: [SOLVED]VLC DVB-T EPG timezone

I haven't configured any clock settings when I did set up arch, I did only set the correct time. me-tv has the same issue. I guess I use hardware clock instead of system clock and this has something to do with it.
I'm in GMT +2

EDIT:
I set the timezone to GMT+2 with

timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Riga  

and set the time back for 2 hours in my case and now VLC and me-tv shows correct EPG data
Only now I'll have to figure out how to get the clock right when I boot into Windows!

EDIT:
aaand I fixed that by setting UTC to both operating systems.
