Yes, you are right, it looks like they have missed changing the
channel name in the MHEG5 EPG data.  So you either need to keep the
xmltvid set to "prime.freeviewnz.tv" (as you have done) or add a
mapping file entry (option -f) to map "PRIME" to
skyopen.freeviewnz.tv.  I have added a mapping file entry:

PRIME	skyopen.freeviewnz.tv

Note that there is a tab character after PRIME - it does not work if
you use spaces, as spaces can be part of the channel name.

I have not had time to test this yet.

I have signed up to the Freeview Forum and will post there once my
membership is approved - maybe Sky or Freeview staff will see that and
fix it.

On the Sky DVB-S/S2 channels, it looks like they have properly changed
the channel name in the EPG data to "Sky Open".
