Just checked again, and still no updates for 'five'. However, I've also 
noticed a large hole for BBC1 (South). For some reason there are no listings 
for the period of 6am on 9th August through to 1.30am on 10 August. After 
that time I have full listings again, so it may be a bit too early to trust 
the Freeview EPG. Should find out Friday morning when the listings for 'five' 
end. If you're using the dvb grabber, it might be an idea to check the 
recording schedule in case there's a gap in the EPG.
