Yes, the programids are different: EXPB01Ep1 for the first episode and
EXPB01Ep2 for the second episode. See the above database records. And
yes, it is a dd_progid format programid provided directly by ChoiceTV
- it comes to me via the MHEG5 EPG transmitted along with the DVB-T
channels. ChoiceTV are actually one of the better channels here in
New Zealand for providing proper EPG data. Some of the DVB-S channels
have nothing at all - no programid, no subtitles and a generic
description that does change sometimes, but not with every episode.
