I wonder if you have had a bad download recently that has inserted a few
sky.co.nz xmltvids which mhegepgsnoop is then finding with its fuzzy
search. Mythweb is good at displaying otherwise 'invisible' channels :)

Are you using the '-f' switch on mhegepgsnoop to map the channel names? I
certainly have to use the channel map because otherwise I get exactly
those channel swaps. This is what I'm currently using - based on what I
see from the Sugar Loaf in CHCH.
