You may need to overwrite existing bad data in your EPG database.  You
can try manually loading the data without the update option.  I have
not done this in 0.25 yet, but I think if you run this from a mythtv
group login it should work:

  mythfilldatabase --xmlfile freeview.xml --sourceid <your_source_id>

There is no manpage for mythfilldatabase, but mythfilldatabase --help
works.  Note the lack of a --update option, so it will overwrite
existing data.  If existing bad data is the problem, then you will
only need to do this once, but you will need to keep checking for a
few days.
