You need to set up that source to use downloaded EPG, using
tv_grab_nz-py (modify it to download from epg.org.nz - the old domain
name is gone):

As I said, EPG on DVB-T channels in NZ is only now/next - the current
program and the next one.

You should already be using the downloaded EPG for DVB-S as it has
postprocessing done to it that makes it higher quality than the pure
EIT from DVB-S.  I believe it is actually derived from the DVT-T MHEG5
EPG.  It is also possible for you to get the MHEG5 from the DVB-T
channels directly, but again you would miss the post-processing.  Look
at the archives of this mailing list for lots of discussions about
using tv_grab_nz-py:
