DVB-T in NZ doesn't use EIT (except perhaps now/next). If you want
consistent data across multiple sources then you're best to use an XML
data source. There's one available at epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg and I see a
new one has popped up at xmltv.co.nz.

You can use tv_grab_nz-py to grab the data with mythfilldatabase. If you
search the list archives it's been discussed a few times.
