Hi Michael, Already done, if you use DVBStreamer (www.dvbstreamer.org)it will automatically capture the EPG data for you and can export it in XMLTV format. Jonathan Isom has been using this and has some scripts available (on the dvbstreamer wiki) that tune to the different frequencies when your not watching TV to ensure that the EPG information is kept up to date.
