Here in Brazil, the same applies for ISDB-T (1seg, SD and HD) and for the DVB-C
and DVB-S providers I'm aware - although here, EPG data is reliable for most
channels and there's no xmltv grabber for Brazilian channels - AFAIKT.

I suspect that this is always the case. Mapping it on GUI has a disadvantage:
if a channel changes and a re-scan is needed, one has to re-map everything.

You don't need to go to the channel's config window. Just open the EPG guide
from the TV menu. All channels with EPG are there.

That's a good opportunity to learn :-)
