ok ruled that out, if I rename the channels.conf to test then the
following results

epgsnoop --config-dir=/home/myth/.epgsnoop/Freeview/ --adapter=1 --tune
12671 --lnb 10750 > /home/myth/epgdata/freeview.xml
Channel file '/home/myth/.epgsnoop/Freeview/channels.conf' not found.

so it is using the correct channels.conf

if I rename it back to channels.conf then the command runs and produces
an XML file .... which is void of tv3-plus1 data.

This is my channels.conf file in the Freeview directory.
