Thanks for help Geoff.  Made a couple of changes to make it a bit more specific to avoid changing other text, -0100 for the hour offset and duplicate channel information.  Extremely slow at the tv_grep stage do not know why but it works.

Does anyone have any tips on if I want to remove data dependant on the time so I can create a channel with only programmes between 17:00 and 23:00?

This is what I have so far for +1 - use at own risk!

tv_grep --output plus.xml --channel-id 12345 in.xml
sed -i 's/id="12345"/id="12345+1"/g' plus.xml
sed -i 's/channel="12345"/channel="12345+1"/g' plus.xml
sed -i 's/+0000/-0100/g' plus.xml
tv_cat --output new.xml in.xml plus.xml

Cheers

Mike
