I'm using schedules direct and it is fetching program information for
Sky Arts. The xmltv fragment is:

  <channel id="24919">
    <display-name>Sky Arts</display-name>
    <display-name>SKYART1</display-name>
    <display-name>11</display-name>
    <icon
  src="https://schedulesdirect-api20141201.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/assets/stationLogos/s24919_dark_360w_270h.png"
  height="270" width="360" />
  </channel>

Note that I have a different channel id from you. I suspect that is
because I use channel-id-format=mythtv which is unlikely to make a
difference.

Also I do not get different programid values for the same
episode.
