Removal of Chanel 4 HD from UK Freesat

Yes. That's what I've done. You need to combine the Freesat and Freeview Channel 4 HD in the channel settings menu and then select DVB/ATSC (instead of Freesat) as the EPG source.

Is there a simple method of configuring the C4 HD Freesat EPG to point at the C4 HD Freeview EPG entries in the NPVR EPG datafile..
I have both a Freeview and a Freesat card configured in NPVR.

NextPVR Settings --> Channels ... Click to select the channel that you want to change ... Click Details ... Under EPG Source, click Source and select DVB/ATSC ... I don't think that this will give you an option to map the EPG channel to the broadcast channel, so I'm not sure if it will work ... but it's worth a try. An alternative is to use DVBGuide or EPG Collector to make an xmltv file from the DVB broadcast EPG data.

Edit: Using the DVB/ATSC option seems to be working for Bobins.

I tried this but it did not work see screenshots.

I must have missed something ??

No. What you need to do is right click on the 1st channel 4 HD instance (104) and then merge with the 2nd Channel 4 HD instance (1004) That puts the freeview and freesat entries under a single Channel 4 HD heading that will show the combined number of sources. You then change the EPG source to DVB/ATSC. That picks up the terrestrial EPG for Channel 4 HD and uses it irrespective of which tuner NPVR is using to record the Channel 4 HD.

That's a clever thought ... Plus, NextPVR uses tuners from the top down in the list at NextPVR Settings --> Devices ... You can move devices up and down in the list to get your preferred tuner higher in the list.
