All you get on DVB-T EIT is Now/Next data (the current program and the
next one).  There is a full set of schedules in the MHEG5 data, but
MythTV does not support that.  DVB-T users normally use downloaded EPG
with the tv_grab_nz-py script:

Or get the full EIT EPG from a DVB-S card if they have one.
