Here in New Zealand on DVB-T, for a long time we only had "now and
next" on the EIT EPG.  The real EPG was available using MHEG5.  Maybe
you have the same problem, where your Slingbox is actually getting the
full EPG using a different protocol.  It would be worth trying
mhegepgsnoop to see if the EPG was available via MHEG5:
