The pyc format is a compiled python program - sometimes you also have .py in the same directory, which would be the source code, and sometimes you don't. e2_loadepg is written in python, but there are launcher scripts to make it as transparent as possible.

I too was frustrated with the EPG on the Dreambox, and found that the best hope was e2_loadepg from ambrosa, which is described above. You should be able to use the radiotimes plugin to associate channels with the terrestrial tuner. The script is designed to get information from various sources, and then combine them together into a single epg.dat file, so it is definately trying to do exactly what you are looking for, and is probably worth persevering with ...

My dreambox power supply eventually broke :-( - this was the replacement power supply, which replaced the poorly designed one - so I've moved onto a CubeRevo / IPBox9000, and a whole new different suite of issues to resolve - the box does work with my white sky card, but not perfectly, and there is an image which has a working EPG (at least for the UK satellite channels).

As a relative newcomer to Dreambox I am frustrated by the EPG and whilst some images can now get SkyUK EPG off air, some can get the Freesat and some can get Freeview (DVB-T) I have not yet found an image that does all I want! I want to be able to merge/combine epgs from various sources. The Dreambox can do this as ir will add the Freesat EPG to an existing EPG but I can't work out how I would do it. Anything I have found that looks hopeful seems to be in a .pyc format.
