Wow. Just tried DVB-T EIT instead of the good ol' trusty
XMLTV/tv_grab_nz-py combo.

Impressive - there's a 7 full days of data in the programme guide for
all my channels, including the ones previously unserved i.e. Apna, Te
Reo, Bravo Plus 1 et al. My OCD about not haivng missing channel data
is eased.

It's been a good run, XMLTV, but looks like EIT has finally matured.
