Are you referring to Freeview, the UHF terrestrial DVB-T service in the UK, 
or Freesat, the free-to-air satellite service? FreeSAT uses a dedicated 
transponder to carry the EPG for all channels, and the information is 
carried using a non-standard coding scheme. There is a patch for Freesat 
at http://www.rst38.org.uk/vdr/ though I have no idea whether it works.
