Yeap, looks like one of my runs but I only have 8 unknown xmltv channel 
identifiers. When I do the option 5 in --manage-lineups I select only 
the channels I care about. I leave out foreign language and religious 
channels. Those channels are also tagged as not visible in the Channel 
Editor.  Not sure if those are the ones that cause the skipping channel 
messages.  Either way. I get the 33 channels I care about with their EPG 
listed for 18 days.
