[mythtvnz] Mapping EPG to DVB-T channels

[Tony Peguero]

Thanks guys. I tried Philip's method, but I ended up with more or less 
the same result as before. Maybe I misunderstood parts of it. Then I 
tried MythWeb, and that has been much more successful. Most channels now 
display the right guide info, but there are a few exceptions. MaoriTV 
shows the guide info for ParliamentTV, for example. And two of the 
channels found by scanning which are not listed in the XML file are 
showing guide info from other channels, despite having nothing in the 
XMLTV ID field.

If anyone knows how I can resolve those last issues I'd be grateful, 
otherwise I'm tempted to just accept it as good enough.

Thanks again.
