The DVB EPG can include vast amounts of detail.

But Sky doesn't appear to be populating it, or tv_grab_dvb doesn't know
how to decode it. I suspect the former, because the guide on Sky's set
top boxes has rating but not genre, and rating is probably what the
Unknown Element tv_grab_dvb keeps reporting is..

I haven't checked TVNZ's EPG data yet. Apparently they're uplinking
their own EPG data, it's not Sky's like the other transponders.
