Hmmm.... How API accessible is the EPG information from a DVB-T and
DVB-S from these USB dongles?

Reason I'm asking is, I've seen a few requests around these parts
(err... Brian..) for a 'talking EPG', 'voice controlled remote', even
'voice controlled PVR' for use by the blind / partially sighted.

Don't seem to be those features available built into consumer
electronics, something which the RPi could be knocked into doing?
