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

Here it is:
This couple looks like sending the EPG shifted correctly:
HTB;GTSS:12640:vM2O0S0:S75.0E:22000:503:504,505:0:0:100:58:103:0
HTB-3;GTSS:12640:vM2O0S0:S75.0E:22000:501:502:0:0:500:58:103:0
This couple looks like not shifting the EPG at all:
DTV-0;GTSS:12640:vM2O0S0:S75.0E:22000:201:202:0:0:200:58:103:0
DTV-2;GTSS:12518:vC78M2O0S0:S75.0E:22000:701:702=eng:0:0:504:86:100:0
This one looks like shifting the EPG in wrong direction (its scrambled, but I've compared the content of EPG.data with official site):
CTC+7;CTC Media:12640:vM2O0S0:S75.0E:22000:401:402:0:2600:400:58:103:0

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

I'll probably patch the code for now to disable the received EPG processing.
But as I see it, there is an issue even when the EPG is correctly transmitted by a provider, for example:
What VDR will do when there is a change in the program and there is a delay in transmission of some program?
Will it have 2 entries for the same program or update the previous entry?
If EPG time is in UTC, than that's a mystery how should those coupled channels be handled.
