OK, stopping eit slowed the deletion down, but didn't stop it...

At 10:04 we have 47 items being processed (probably about 30 actually
scheduled) and at 10:07 we have 34 (about 12 actually scheduled).  All of
my Prime, some of my TV3 Plus1 and Four scheduled programs are gone.  But
never any TVNZ.  All the TVNZ 7 programs are rock solid and have been from
the start.

So, back to square 1...
