I appreciate that very much!
My comment was not specially targeted at VOX, but to the EPG data in 
general...

Set the teletext pid to 71.
channels.conf (ASTRA):  VOX:12188:h:0:27500:167:136:71:0:12060

Then, for example, compare the EPG entry for 
  20:15 C.S.I. - Den Tätern auf der Spur
with the corresponding teletext entry (page 332/1)
and you know what I mean...

But as I stated above, this problem is a very common one.
It's the same with ARD, ZDF, etc.
