There’s always xmltv if there’s no eit or Freeview HD, luckily I can get both, I dropped enough hints that they should leave some vestigial eit in there but will see when the Freesat epg data runs out on Saturday.

How about changing the entry in the Channel table for Channel 4 SD to 
point to the mplexid and serviceid for the HD equivalent. Any reason why 
that would not work?
