Nice start. Thanks for the work.

One initial problem is using the cid's the data for TV One and TV 2 are
mapped to the same channel.

The list of unique cids is

crid://basefm.co.nz
crid://c42.co.nz
crid://c4tv.co.nz
crid://chinesetv8.co.nz
crid://kordiasolutions.com
crid://maoritelevision.com
crid://parliament.nz
crid://primetv.co.nz
crid://radionzconcert.co.nz
crid://radionznational.co.nz
crid://tv3.co.nz
crid://tv3plus1.co.nz
crid://tvcentral.co.nz
crid://tvnz.co.nz

You would probably be better creating a map based on the SID, eg

1200 = tvone
1201 = tv2

I do like the way you extract the HD, teletext etc from the image references.
