the only way to get an EPG would be from an online resource. Don't know if this is possible or available.

There is no way to recieve the EPG data from your Sky STB.

fair enough. just so you know though, this is the same as all other media center type applications, getting an EPG from a set top box through a AV connection is not possible.

The only time i've ever heard of getting two way communications for an STB was using MythTV and some firewire cable boxes in the US.

Yes you can, but a bit off work would need to be done. and an internet connection is vital to the HTPC.
