What I'm seeing extends beyond just tv_grab_dvb & Mythtv. I've tried running 
the grabber at different times & when tuned to different stations. The 
problem I've got is that the EPG being retrieved by tv_grab_dvb simply 
doesn't have any listing for 'five' after 6am on Friday 6th. Even going to 
Windows and using the Hauppauge software supplied with the Nova-T card fails 
to retrieve any data for 'five' after this time even though other stations 
are okay. It's been like this for a few days now. (Just in case it's a 
regional thing, I'm on Oxford.)
