I do not know what the root of the problem is, but the downloaded EPG
has not had tv3-plus1.freeviewnz.tv data for quite some time now -
more than a month.  The file does have a header for the channel at the
start, but no data.  I had not noticed myself, as my EPG processing
automatically merges MHEG5 data for all channels in the MHEG5 data but
not found in the downloaded file.  This is an extract from my EPG
script that shows how I do it:

echo "Getting MHEG5 EPG data"
/usr/local/bin/do_mhegepgsnoop.sh

# Note: do_mhegepgnsoop.sh leaves its data in
$EPG_server/listings-mheg5.xml.
# If there is no downloaded newer EPG data at the next run of this
# script, that MHEG5 data will be used instead of the downloaded data.

# The MHEG5 data is raw and has not been processed by xmltv-proc-nz.
# So do that now.
echo "Running xmltv-proc-nz on the MHEG5 data"
#/usr/local/bin/xmltv-proc-nz $EPG_server/listings-mheg5.xml
>mheg5.xml
cat $EPG_server/listings-mheg5.xml | /usr/local/bin/xmltv-proc-nz
>mheg5.xml
RET_CODE=$?
if [ $RET_CODE -ne 0 ]; then
    cp -a $EPG_server/listings-mheg5.xml mheg5.xml
    echo "****** xmltv-proc-nz on MHEG5 Freeview data failed, using
raw data ******"
fi

echo "Merging MHEG5 EPG data"

echo "..sorting downloaded EPG data"
tv_sort --by-channel --output temp.xml freeview.xml
mv temp.xml freeview.xml
echo "..sorting MHEG5 EPG data"
tv_sort --by-channel --output mheg5.xml $EPG_server/listings-mheg5.xml
mkdir downloaded
mkdir mheg5
cd downloaded
tv_split -o %channel.xml ../freeview.xml
cd ../mheg5
tv_split -o %channel.xml ../mheg5.xml
cd ..

merged=0
for splitfile in mheg5/*.xml ; do
    #echo $splitfile
    splitfile=$(basename $splitfile)
    if [ ! -e downloaded/$splitfile ] ; then
        echo "..merging MHEG5 $splitfile"
        merged=1
        tv_merge -i freeview.xml -m mheg5/$splitfile -o temp.xml
        mv temp.xml freeview.xml
     fi
done

if [ $merged -ne 0 ]; then
    # A merge was done, so add back the missing DOCTYPE line.
    echo "..adding back missing DOCTYPE line"
    awk 'NR==2{print "<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM \"xmltv.dtd\">"}1'
freeview.xml >temp.xml
    mv temp.xml freeview.xml
fi

rm downloaded/*.xml
rmdir downloaded
rm mheg5/*.xml
rmdir mheg5
