Thanks Steve,

That was the hint I needed.

One thing to note is on my setup, SportExtra is 1903, not 1904 (1904 
is TVNZ 6).

I've now edited my .epgsnoop/channels.conf  and added:
1903|sportextra.freeview.co.nz|SportExtra|sportextra.jpg|http://www.freeviewnz.tv/|
1904|tvnz6.freeview.co.nz|TVNZ 6|tvnz6.jpg|http://www.freeviewnz.tv/|

Then made certain that in my channel table that the xmltvid matched 
for those two items.

Then I modified my grab_dvb script, so that after pulling the normal 
sky based data from 12519 (I have no idea where I got that number 
from though - it's just what I've had working for the last year or so 
), I then wait 5 seconds, and retune to 12483 and do it all again

/usr/local/bin/dvbstream -s 22500 -o:/dev/null -f 1219 -p h -n 60 8192 &
/usr/local/bin/epgsnoop > $NEWFILE_BETA
killall dvbstream
sleep 5
/usr/local/bin/dvbstream -s 22500 -o:/dev/null -f 1183 -p h -n 60 8192 &
/usr/local/bin/epgsnoop > $NEWFILE_FREEVIEW
killall dvbstream


Then pass all that lot along to mythfilldatabase:
mythfilldatabase --no-delete --file 3 -1 $NEWFILE_FREEVIEW
mythfilldatabase --no-delete --file 2 -1 $NEWFILE_BETA


And as simple as that, I've now got something in the EPG for 
SportExtra.  Next step is fixing the crap data.  Every program title 
is TVNZ Sport Extra (but the description changes).

Looks like the ones worth recording all start with "TVNZ Sport Extra 
brings you"  and avoid all the ones with "TVNZ Sport Extra returns 
with" or TVNZ Sport Extra: returning soon."   8(
