I am seeing the same thing.  However, I do have EPG for the DVB-S2 Sky
Open channel on Sky satellite.  I am going to change the xmltvid for
the FreeviewHD Sky Open channel to use the EPG data from the DVB-S2
Sky Open channel, until this gets fixed.  I have put a copy of today's
DVB-S2 Sky Open EPG download on my web server here:

http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/skyopen.sky.co.nz.xml

It has the xmltvid as "skyopen.sky.co.nz", so to use it, you will
either need to change that in the file to whatever your Sky Open
channel is using, or change the xmltvid you are using to be
"skyopen.sky.co.nz".  A command like this will do an in-place replace
on the file:

sed -i 's/skyopen.sky.co.nz/skyopen.freeviewnz.tv/g'
skyopen.sky.co.nz.xml

Then you will need to run mythfilldatabase on the file to load the EPG
data:

mythfilldatabase --file --xmlfile skyopen.sky.co.nz.xml
