Looks like you have the problem well under control. Thank you very much..
I don't have any expectations but am glad there is something coming in the 
future.
My PC has not crashed in last two weeks using MythTV-0.22 but I do not use 
any clever stuff.

I thought the idea of EIT was real-time correction to schedule: programs 
changes & time errors.
I found the EIT data to be good with Myth 0.21 but weakness being 
'just-in-time-almost-to-late'.
I now find the EIT schedule start & stop times seems to come thru' quickly 
but the program names & info come thru' delayed. Sometimes after program has 
aired.

If you schedule a program to record when there is time info but no program 
name, the recording will fail if the EIT data for program name arrives 
before recording starts. Maybe because now the name does not match.
Odd fact - No programme name seems to be "." and not "" ?

I had EPG working partially with 0.21+fixes but have failed miserably with 
0.22.
I just use a browser window open on TVNZ's website.

If your sql commands, posted previously, are used to insert channels 
manually will the SD channels still not work ?


Thanks
Brett.
