The simple way to do it is as a cron job, where you run mhepgsnoop to
produce an EPG file, say freeview.xml, and then run:

mythfilldatabase --file --sourceid <yoursourceid> --xmlfile
freeview.xml

I have not tried it, but apparently the Freeview DVB-T channels now
have the same EPG data on EIT as they do on MHEG5, so you may just be
able to set MythTV to collect EIT data automatically from one or more
DVB-T tuner.
