I've just tried it and it the listing themselves appear fine.

It picks up a few categories which is cool but it does appear to categorise a 
lot into "show/game show"

Here is a screeshot of mythweb; http://mail.nice.net.nz/epg.png

Also, to satisfy my curiosity and for my own future use, is there a reason you 
haven't tried the epgsnoop script that Andrew Bruce posted a while back? 
There was at least one report of it working well.

Thanks for the EPG BTW. I don't have a DVB card yet but I'm planning on 
getting one or two in sometime soon.

Cheers,
