WMC started using the broadcast EPG with Freeview when the Vista 'TV
pack' update came out. Using a live EPG was a requirement of getting the
Freeview+ certification IIRC.
On DSAT I'm fairly sure it follows the EIT now/next info but does not
populate the full guide with it, as it usually records programmes
correctly that have started late/overrun due to sports events.
