Nice work. Provisional testing worked for me.

I generated the mapping file off a channel scan as follows

cat ../dtt/dtt.conf  | cut -f 1,13 -d ":" \
| sed "s/:/ /g" | sed "s/$/.dvb.guide/g" > mheg.list

Then once the card was tuned I could run the EPG grabber and get all the
freeview|HD channels.
