It was pretty easy - one tick in the box and away it goes.  I have guide data for all channels except for the Maori TV which says it is Juice TV from 12am->12pm and 12pm->12am.  Doesn't really help me.  I haven't changed anything from what I had when using epg.org.nz.  Interesting that I dont have any Sky, so not sure where it is getting Juice from!

The EPG data for Maori TV from both MHEG5 and EIT is good.  I am
getting that from 610 MHz which is the Maori mux on the Wharite
transmitter.  I normally use the MHEG5 data collected using
mhegepsnoop on my MythTV box (Ubuntu), but I just ran EPG Collector on
my Windows 10 box to get both the MHEG5 EPG and EIT EPG, then sorted
and compared them.  They both have data for Maori TV.

Both of the EPG sets I collected with EPG Collector have a Juice TV
channel present.  I guess that it is broadcast somewhere in NZ on
DVB-T, and I think they just send all the EPG data to all the
transmitters so we get data here for channels we can not receive.  I
do not get EPG for the non-existent channels with mhegepgsnoop as it
filters out channels that are not in my channel list.

Does the HDHomerun get its EPG from MHEG5, or EIT?  What frequency did
you get it from?
