Thanks Wade,

I saw the page at pvr.geek but I assumed that each transponder would only 
carry EPG for it's own channels. After comparing the output from the hairy 
feed and my own grab from 12.671 (using tv_split) they appear to contain the 
same number of channels (106 or so). I guess I just assumed wrong.

Cheers all,

hads
