Because Prime has not updated the EPG data.  They may do it by
tomorrow.  Or maybe not - TV stations in NZ do not have a good record
of updating the EPG for changes.  You can always do a manual record if
necessary.

To find the latest updates of the EPG data, just use the MHEG5 Guide
option on any FreeviewHD compatible TV.  To be licensed to say they
are compatible, the TV must be able to display it.  That is the source
of the NZ MythTV EPG data, but the downloaded EPG is only updated from
it once (or maybe twice) a day.  You also need to account for when
your MythTV box does its daily EPG download - if it happens just
before the downloadable EPG gets updated, then it will be more out of
date.
