Based on this thread, I downloaded and tried tv_grab_dvb.  In Canberra,
Australia, it also only shows the next upcoming show - plus, it only
shows the show for the current channel that the tuner is tuned to
(unless I'm missing something) - so you would also have to script
something that changed the tuner for each channel, and get that EPG for
each one.

I was thinking it might be good to run it each hour, as it seems to
broadcast the proper time the show is on.  Eg: tv_grab_au says a show
will start at 8:30 - tv_grab_dvb says it starts at 8:35 - perhaps more
in line with the time the show is actually broadcast ??
