3 Nova-T PCI cards here and they grab EPG data fine. This is for UK Freeview DVB-T services.

You won't like my answer... I did nothing at all bar set the cards up. In TV 0.2 I used the checkbox marked 'Grab EPG from DVB', and in TV Server 3 I made sure every channel I wanted EPG for was checked.
I've installed/reinstalled many Mediaportal setups with these cards, across both XP and Server 2003, and this has never been an issue.
I'd go get the latest Hauppauge drivers, reinstall and have another go.

If you can deal with the problem of mixing the output from each transponder, here

you will find a little command line utility that does just this, grabs a transponder and writes all EPG's found to aXMLTV file
You're welcome...

I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...

In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre).
The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA).
The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...

Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.
