Sorry, not an answer to your question, but I've noticed the EPG doesn't seem 
to be as complete as it should be. I'm not sure why, but at the moment 
although most channels seem okay, 'five' doesn't seem to have been updated 
for a few days. (I still have a test grab from 31 July, which is when I 
noticed the problem). The guide for it runs out at 6am on Friday 6th while 
most of the other channels are good until the 9th. Depends on how accurate 
you want your guide to be as to whether you switch now, or wait and see what 
happens.

While not elegant, I have been successfully using tv_grab_dvb for the last few 
days to populate the EPG in mythtv 0.15.1. It's an external script, but you 
need to change one line of code in mythtv & recompile, otherwise it can cause 
problems because mythtv doesn't like something else changing the channel.
