no timezone shift fix |

buggy timezone is detected and fixed (Note: this only works if all TVTV timers are in the same timezone as the vdr system |
This is failsafe and should avoid problems on the next DST switch |
| manual |
timezone is manually corrected |
This is NOT failsafe on the next DST switch! |
| manual (DST only) |
manual timezone correction only in case of DST |
This is hopefully failsafe on the next DST switch |
| manual (non-DST only) |
manual timezone correction only in case of non-DST |
This is hopefully failsafe on the next DST switch |
| ignore timezone |
ignore the transmitted timezone completly |
recommended (but untested for timers of different timezones) |
