You should certainly be able to get listing data for most of the freesat 
channels from the xmltv radio times grabber.

Make sure you have a complete channel list to pass to the grabber - mine 
is /home/mythtv/.mythtv/DVB-S.xmltv and contains the information below...

Also check that you have set the xmltv id's for all your channels - you 
can check this in mythweb settings -> TV -> channel info.
