Just found this TVRenamer and it sounds slick, can it be set to use SxxExx format in the renamed file instead of xxXxx format?

Yes, you can customise the output name's format quite easily. Check the "Custom output filenames" section of the readme on http://github.com/dbr/tvnamer/

And does it work with shows that where the filenames don't have Season and Episode numbers, say something like: Travel.Channel.Chef.Abroad.Holiday.Traditions.Greece.PDTV.XviD-NANO

No. There's no reliable way to parse such filenames (in a generic enough manner), it only works if it can find a series/episode number. You could use tvdb_api and a custom script to rename such files, assuming they are on thetvdb.com
