sub Wrote:lol. Can you zip and attach one of the new zap2it.xml files so I can take a look at what they've changed this time?
The end result is that I could "fix" the problem through manual CHANNEL table editing. I induced an EPG update in the config app, then isolated all the new CHANNEL rows. I then manually copied CHANNEL.name from the new channels to the old, and deleted the new.
This seems to have worked fine with minimal fuss, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who didn't feel comfy messing with DB tables.
EDIT: Forgot to ask - Sub, what is the algorithm GB-PVR uses to translate zap2it.com XML into CHANNEL.name? It wasn't immediately obvious looking at the strings.
