Can't speak for where you are in the world, as I don't know how they transmit dvb-epg or even if they do.
In the uk I was able to download dvb-epg with my LR6650 with the 0.1.3 with the last cvs.
Also able to use the 0.2.0 RC1 which would populate it too, but soon after that the CVS broke the epg which I believe is in the process of being sorted at the moment.
In the meantime I'm using webepg, which populates most things and works very fast.

Yes thats what I mean, but the dvb-t has been much improved since 0.2.0 RC1 release and I prefere to use the latest cvs for the better tv playback.
Personally I'd use the webepg untill the cvs has the dvbepg fully sorted, I'll have to have a read through the change log within the cvs to see how Frodo is doing with it.
I don't know if any of this is applicable to you as the way that dvbepg is transmitted in the uk I think is different from the rest of Europe. I believe the data in the uk is transmitted from every every channel for all mux's for 7 days.
However I thought that Europe transmitted only the data for 1 mux from 1 channel so you have to change channel after several minutes to a channel in a different mux for a different part of the epg to generate.
I could be wrong on this, I'm no expert.

As I has exprienced from my DVB-Box the epg takes about 5 sek to get recived, when looking at all channels-epg the epg seems to update without changing channels
but as you said, I am no expert me neather.... =)

It stopped working for me with the dotnet2 release. 
Just a quick update on my last post on this subject. About two weeks ago i installed a new cvs snapshot and this killed my MP completely, unable to find any channels. Tried re-installing, no luck so I decided to do a compete registry clean-out, searching for anything to do with MP or my tv card drivers. I re-installed everything and did a complete configuration. Bingo, tv fine, stable and dvb epg works great!
