Out of curiosity, from your testing, have you noticed if the EPG information 
changes with the program rather than the time? i.e. if a program kicks off a 
minute early does the EPG roll over the now/next early?
(if you want examples to play with this the cbeebies channel has lots of short 
10-15 min progs and their start times fluctuate by up to 2 minutes to GMT... 
and missing 2 minutes of a 10 minute program is quite a chunk!)
I had a bit of a play with this myself but for some reason my dvb epg 
information is broken at the moment and I can't work out where I broke it at 
the moment!
