The times given in EPG data are supposed to be in UTC, so different
time zones
are of no interest. If teh times are not in UTC, the providers are
messing up.

So how VDR or any other settop box should know that the channel is shifted in time?

Beats me!

As an example, 75.0E has NTV and NTV-2, or DTV and DTV-2

Please post the complete channels.conf entries of these channels.

You can set the "table id" of these events to 0 (see man 5 vdr).

The problem is not with overwriting the data, but appending the wrong data for that channel. I see both script inserted and DVB transmitted data that are differ.

Is there such "table id" setting per channel and not per EPG entry?

No, this is per EPG event, not per channel.
