Hads,

The problem occurs with programmes that do not have a meaningful
series/episode identification e.g. "1 News at 6pm".

I have looked back through my xmltv archive and here are the epg xml
records for  7 August 2018 and 7 August 2019 for "1 News at 6 pm".

epg_20180807_030125.xml


<title>1 News At 6pm</title>
                <desc>The nation's leading team of journalists brings
viewers the latest news and sport, plus the most comprehensive w
eather report.</desc>
                <episode-num system="dd_progid">10506097</episode-num>
                <subtitles type="teletext" />
        </programme>





epg_20190807_030107.xml


<title>1 News At 6pm</title>
                <sub-title>1 News At 6pm</sub-title>
                <desc>The nation's leading team of journalists brings
viewers the latest news and sport, plus the most comprehensive w
eather report.</desc>
                <date>2019</date>
                <subtitles type="teletext" />
        </programme>

Note that the last time the "episode-num" term appeared in the epg file
for "1 News at 6pm" was the file I downloaded at approx 3:00 am on 7/8/2019.

I wonder if you have somehow switched your "snoop" system from mheg to
Sky for the Freeview channels?
