The "Programme Identification Label" (PIL) is the "first
published start time of a certain event", and it is in local
time. So if you're not in the same time zone as the broadcast
station, there's a problem.

Maybe we also need to take into account the "local time offset descriptor"
to find out the actual time offset of the broadcast station, but
IIRC that descriptor wasn't broadcast back when I started
implementing VPS. I'll take a look at this...
