I could offer to upload the epg.data generated by my VDR once a day
to our server. I guess there shouldn't be much legal consideration here,
since the data is publicly available through the DVB data stream, anyway.

Try the file from

  ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/epg.data.gz

If you copy it into your /video directory and restart VDR you should
have the current EPG data. This is for the channels defined in the default
channels.conf on Astra.

Let me know if this is useful. I'll set up a crontab entry then which
uploads this once a day.
