[mythtvnz] Sky and Freeview using EPGSNOOP

Great worked perfectly - Thanks. When it recordes it always picks Sky, even
for TV1,2,etc which are available on FreeView. Is there a way to get it to
pick FreeView for the stations available on Freeview which would leave the
other Sky channels available.
