Freeview is more or less Tivo without the ability to skip adverts. Freeview PVRs are supposed to get the EPG off the signal. I have had a dual HD tuner PVR for about 6 years. IceTV provide an EPG I can use to program it.

I have noticed channel 9 is not very good at updating information.

If 9 (and Go! and GEM) actually kept to their program schedule and started programs on time, you wouldn't have to watch it live to check things started near time and even were the right program. Should the Freeview consortium throw them out for not being compliant?
I haven't checked, but WIN, being part of the 9 network, are probably as bad.
10 have a habit of not starting on time, but their EPG is normally correct. For instance the paper guides might say 19:30. The EPG might say 19:37 and the pre-program ads will finish by 19:39.
