Worth saying that  tv_grab_dvb will work with "Now and Next" 
information, as well as the longer term EPG. The Dev for the 
--enable-dvb-eit code has chosen not to include Now and Next it as it is 
not useful for scheduling recordings.

However severall networks only carry the Now and Next info, and it is 
much better than nothing for Livetv, so I use both, but I would much 
preffer a switch in myth to allow Now and Next.

Also note that tv_grab_dvb assumes that your DVB card is DVB_0 so if you 
have multiple cards you need to edit it.
