Nick,

You are correct, I am running eit as well.  I thought about this, but none
of the TVNZ data ever gets deleted, so I concluded that this was not the
problem.  Also, having both eit and epg data saved me once or twice on my
satellite system when the epg data got screwed up on SBS 2.  As far as I
can see, the eit data should just 'correct' the last two entries.

Anyway, in the interests of science, I disabled the eit data and so far, it
looks like you are right.  I don't know why.  There are a lot less
reschedule events in the log which I assume were provoked by getting the
eit data, but the imported data survived a number of these events before
being deleted.  Oh well, I guess I don't really need the eit data...

Thanks.

Brendan
