Thanks for the heads up.  I have now run a full scan of all the
channels on FreeviewHD to see what they had done.

It looks like they moved "TV One plus 1" to channel 6 replacing "U",
which is why they changed its PID.  "TV2+1" is channel 7, replacing
the old "TV ONE plus 1".

My scan also shows that the TPID (Teletext PID) value for "TV ONE" and
"TV2" has also changed - that should not cause any problems.

Also, and I think it started a bit earlier than 1-Aug-2013, there is
the new "TVSN Shopping channel" on channel 20.  This is a different
channel from "The Shopping Channel" on channel 18, which has been
around for a while.  There seems to be a problem with the downloaded
EPG data for TVSN - it has the same xmltvid of
"shopping-channel.freeviewnz.tv" that has been assigned to "The
Shopping Channel", which will not work very well as they definitely
are not the same channel.

Here is the CSV file for the latest FreevieHD DVB-T scan (watch out
for line wraps if importing this):

I also scanned the Freeview and Sky satellite channels.  There were no
changes in the Freeview channels, but Sky has added "TV2+1" on channel
502 with a service ID of 1249, and "Al Jazeera" on channel 90 with a
service ID of 1212, both on the 12295000 Hz multiplex.  They have
already had TVSN for a while - channel 24, service ID 1210 on the same
12295000 Hz multiplex.

I will be updating all my channels and EPG setup later, and when I
have done it I will update the channels.conf.sky file I have on my web
site.
