I've looked at your log and it seems that it was loading and running the
MHEG.  The difficulty was when it got to here:
{:Scene  ( '/s.m' 0 )
     :Items (
         {:Link ( '/s.m' 1 )
             :EventSource  ( '/s.m' 0 )
             :EventType UserInput
             :EventData 300
             :LinkEffect (
                 :Launch ( ( '/epg/a' 0 ) )
             )
         }
     )
     :InputEventReg 13
     :SceneCS 720 576
}
This is waiting for user input.  It is setting the input event register
(i.e. the set of buttons to recognise) to 13 and waiting for a user
event number 300.  Until that event arrives nothing will happen.  The
mapping of buttons to EventData codes and the input event register
values are defined by the profile.  For the UK the red button generates
100, green 101 etc.  The input register values used are 3, 4 or 5.  You
can find this in the UK profile at
http://www.dtg.org.uk/publications/books/mheg_profile_106.pdf under
UserInput.

You need to find out or guess the key and input register values for the
NZ profile and then modify MHIContext::OfferKey in mhi.cpp to generate
the appropriate input values.
