I don't do this at the moment, as I just replied to Kevin. I suppose I 
could, but it feels conceptually "wrong" for so many channels to appear 
in the GBR-0001207-DEFAULT lineup which shouldn't be there, and feels 
wrong to use MythTV to fix this when the problem should be fixed at 
source, in my opinion.

Incidentally, GBR-0001207-DEFAULT seems to have a description of "London 
| DVB-T | Freeview - Central (South)", which sounds OK as I definitely 
want DVB-T Freeview and Central (South) sounds about right, although the 
London is a bit odd as I'm nowhere near London. But it definitely says 
Freeview and Sky 1 etc. are not on Freeview. I realise this is a 
Schedules Direct issue and not XMLTV.
