Do you have a secret recipe for dumping the data? I might have a play with 
converting it to XMLTV. I'm interested in seeing good EPG data.

On a semi-related note, I haven't updated the epgsnoop script on the site for 
a while but I do have it working here with imdbpy which adds some detail to 
movies.

It was also extracting episode title information and inserting that for TV3 
but they don't seem to be providing that anymore. That was good while it 
lasted.

I'll update the version on the site at some stage, I'd like to tidy it up a 
bit before I do.
