Hi Jason,

That's my fault. The box that does the epgsnoop runs was changed and I
forgot about the old format listings file.

I'll have a look at it later today hopefully but in the mean time as you
discovered the newer files are all still working fine.

Everyone should consider upgrading to using those files anyway as they
offer better (more consistent, fuller) data and handle daylight savings
changes properly.

To use the new files all you will need to do is change the XMLTVID in
your mythtv database from the old format e.g. '1031.dvb.guide' to the
new format e.g. 'tv1.sky.co.nz/tv1.freeviewnz.tv'.

Cheers,

hads
