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.
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.
Freeview is the one I'm having the problem with. I am using the Freesat patch because I've got both types of card; the Freesat EPG is working, the Freeview one isn't. I'll have a look at the patch later and confirm that it adds the Freesat pids rather than replacing the standard ones, but I'm sure they both used to work together and I haven't changed anything recently.
