sky use a similar to freesat in that the the EPG is not encrypted, just 
huffman encoded. however, the EPG data is on a single transport and this 
complicates things as the myth EIT scanner wanders around looking for 
the data. as the transport used does not contain a video channel, it 
will not be picked up.

as and when it is possible to specify a transport to look for EIT data 
it will be pretty trivial to add.

so now the big question. why bother?

sky broadcast schedule data for a whole raft of channels. a lot of these 
are in the clear. at the moment all we have is now/next data from them 
or schedule data from the BBC using tv_grab_uk_rt.

i have the code and having done something similar for freesat, it would 
not be a big job.
