Whilst EPG data is broadcast on all multiplexes in the UK it's not all
the same. For example, some multiplexes only transmit a couple of days
worth of data rather than the full 8 days. If you're using the OTA
guide data in the UK (as I am) then i'd suggest using the multiplex
containing BBC ONE as your source for data, it's your best bet for
complete information.
