In some countries nxtvepg will work. I saw that quite a few companies
offer NexTView TV's in the UK, so may be there is a broadcaster that
transmits epg data.

I don't use DVB so I can't help you with what it sends. Maybe the ESTI
site will tell you the technical details. :))

There are some python xmltv extract programs and it is possibly not too
difficult to write for other countries.
