In fact, it isn't just Yesterday, the entire Freeview network has no EPG
in VDR. I can tune to the channels though. The DVB-S EPG is present
though.

If VDR does scan the EIT for other transport streams why would I need to
tune to the one carrying the channel whose EPG I want? In theory the EPG
for the entire network should be available on each and every
transponder/frequency.
