This is the proposed XMLTVID scheme that I've come up with so far;

Anyone have any thoughts? Additions?

I'm incorporating the new XMLTVID stuff into the new version of epgsnoop 
(maybe this will hurry me up :)

I'm sure I can whip up a script to convert from the old id's to new as well.

Steve; regarding this, I'm not sure. The actual video of the different feeds 
is the same so I think the XMLTVID should be tv1.co.nz. If people want to use 
the EPG data off the freeview transponder rather than the Sky one then they 
can grab it themselves with epgsnoop. If there's major demand then a data 
file from the freeview source could be arranged to be downloadable.
