[QUOTE="tsamb., post: 311945, member: 17422"] From what I have read, New Zealand broadcasts the full EPG only on MHEG-5 for a couple reasons. Firstly and primarily because they wanted a 'consistent' looking EPG across all platforms (basically, if you are to pull the MHEG data down, the guide will look the same on whatever set-top box or integrated DVB-T TV tuner you are using). Secondly, MHEG-5 allows the expansion into interactive television applications and since they decided to implement that for future use, they decided not to use up the bandwidth broadcasting over MHEG-5 and EIT. I would love to see an MHEG-5 plugin for MP (even just the EPG data and not interactive features) and if not that, then even an app that will pull EPG data out of a a stream containing MHEG-5 data and translate that to XML.
