There are some other channels missing too, that I also never watch,
such as some religious ones.  But what I did was to add some code to
my EPG collection so it runs mhepgsnoop after it has the download
data, and then compares the xmltvids.  If it finds any channel in my
MythTV database that is not in the downloaded data, it merges the
mheg5 data to replace it.  This has been running for a couple of
months now and seems to work well.  If any new channel comes along, it
will automatically provide data for it once I have it set up in
MythTV, before the downloaded data catches up with the change.

I have also added a section to the end of my EPG collection code after
it runs mythfilldatabase, where it runs some SQL on the database, then
runs mythutil --resched.  That allows me to add in SQL to change
things that need fixing, like a problem with the title for Cleverman
where they had extra things on the end of it so it did not match a
standard recording rule set up on the first episode:

update program set title='Cleverman' where title like 'Cleverman %';
