Could it be "Nordig"?

Anyway, it's quite silly. Instead of using the proper specs most Subtitle
fields are filled with the extended info, and usually cut off (unless it's
really short). Looks so unprofessional when something as simple as the EPG
data is broken. The Swedish channels that we receive through cable of
course have the information filled in correctly...
