The way of the MythTV is to go and fix your guide. Then the scheduler
can make better decisions. For NZ that may be as simple as switching
from the transmitted EIT guide to the transmitted MHEG5 guide (whatever
that is). E.g. http://code.google.com/p/mheg2xmltv/

PS: Yes I do know that you will be sticking out your head for it to be
chopped off if you provide a free guide in NZ, so I'd try the above
solution first. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV#New_Zealand
