So on the basis that the enhanced EPG data is in the EIT how would this be added to vdr?
A patch? A plug-in? Any views on this?

The document we need to look at is the one that specifies how to process Event Information (AKA EPG) and is called "ETSI EN 300 468". The latest one is found here;

It looks like section 5.2.4 contains the information we are looking for, this covers the Event Information Table (EIT). This should be possible to decode in a similar way the 'scan' program grabs, extracts and processes the Network Information Table (PID 0x10), except you'd want to work on PID 0x12 instead.
OK I've tried looking again. The ITV1 multiplex at least is broadcasting EIT descriptor 0x76 (content identifier descriptor) which is part of the TV-Anytime spec. Oddly, I didn't see that last night.
More investigation needed, but the data does seem to be there.
