It's a bit of a mess at the moment as there's both epgsnoop and
xmltv-proc-nz which do processing and a lot of the processing is
duplicated in both.

epgsnoop does;

StripHtml,CategoryList,MovieTitle,MovieDesc,Subtitle,SkyRatings,
Widescreen,Year,Credits,CategoryDb,SearchReplaceTitle,HD

xmltv-proc-nz does;

BBCWorldOnTV1,SearchReplaceTitle
Subtitle,Categories,Movies(TMDB),HD

Though the smaller list in xmltv-proc-nz is not completely
representational as the processors there incorporate some of the
features from more than one epgsnoop processor.

I believe the freeview data at nzepg.org comes from something like;

epgsnoop-grabber | xmltv-proc-nz | gzip > freeveiw.xml.gz

So it's not actually using epgsnoop to get the data from satellite at
all, it's using the freeview web xml feed.
