Yes, the EIT EPG does not use name matching for the channels and EPG
data.  It does it using the service ID values.  So name changes cause
no problems for EIT.

I can now confirm I am getting the Sky Open EPG properly, by adding a
line to my channel mapping file, as in a previous post.  I also had to
change my .xmltv file to change "prime.freeviewnz.tv" to
"skyopen.freeviewnz.tv".  The .xmltv file is used if you are having
mythfilldatabase run by a tv_grab_nz*.py file, rather than running
mythfilldatabase directly.  It is normally found in
/home/mythtv/.mythtv or /home/<mythfrontend user>/.mythtv, depending
on which user you have running the grabber.  The name is:

<videosource name>.xmltv

so mine is FreeviewHD.xmltv.  If you are also recording from Sky there
will be another .xmltv file for that, and also possibly another one
for recording from Freeview DVB-S.
