I am guessing that this will have been caused by the EPG being updated
to the new names for those channels.  If so, then the +1 channels
should have the same problem - I have not checked to see if that is
so.

I can see in today's mhegepgsnoop run on my MythTV box that the new
names are now present there, and the old names are gone.  On the day
the name change happened, only the old names were there, and in
yesterday's log I can see both names there for some TVNZ channels.  So
it looks like TVNZ had queued up MHEG5 EPG data for this week as usual
before the name change, but forgot to flush all the data already
loaded under the old names and force it to reload under the new names.
As new data has been queued up each day, it has been under the new
names.  Today, all the old data has run out, or they found the problem
and fixed it.  So the script that is collecting the MHEG5 EPG data to
create the downloads needs to be updated to use the new names.  I have
adjusted my mhegpgsnoop channel map file accordingly.  This is for
Wharite - there are some different channels in other regions:

Note that I had to start using a manual channel map with mhegepgsnoop
after Fashion TV came along, as it was fuzzy matching to Shine TV
before Shine TV was matched, so neither of those channels got the
right EPG.  I think it would be a useful option for mhegepgsnoop to be
able to use the channel map file to do manual matches for problematic
channels, then to go on and do fuzzy matches on the rest.  At the
moment, once you specify a channel map file, no fuzzy matching is done
and all the channels need to be manually put in the channel map file.
