Yes, that is the case. When I'm not so busy with work I intend to update the 
script and include a bit about the dependencies and usage.

The following is part of my daily epg cron;

dvbtune -f 1921000 -s 22500 -p v -m -tone 0 2&> /dev/null &
/usr/local/bin/epgsnoop --user=$USER --database --imdb --quiet > $TMPFILE
/usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabase --no-delete --file 1 -1 $TMPFILE 2&> /dev/null

You may need to adjust the 1921000 for the frequency of you LNB. Mine is 10.75 
so 12671000-10750000 = 1921000
