I had a look about for an alternative but I can't upload images on posts so what about this as an option? http://www.flickr.com/photos/neave/15772488/

Yes, if they're available. I'll look tonight.
I have looked at the update to the Channel Information.
I don't know from where you are sourcing the mux. names, but it is D3&4 not 'DL&4' (?)
Ofcom's naming of the mux's has been all over the place since the introduction of DTT DVB broadcasting, but now seems to have settled on :-
BBC A
D3&4
BBC B HD
SDN
ARQ A
ARQ B
......for how long one wonders?!
Can I second this request.
Thanks.
OP
With respect to the facilities of webif and rs, and in the words of a well known nationwide eating establishment - "I'm lovin' it" ! 
The EPG searching is very good, but I seem to remember that someone asked if it were possible to produce a similar grid-like EPG as per using the remote on the box, which would probably require quite a bit of work and alter the vertical-scrolling nature of the result on the device being used.
This might be a silly idea - but in the interim, would it be possible to show up-coming programmes within, for ease of use say, the next 4 hours, or multiples of 4 hours. I thought the EPG would be searchable on day name and/or date, but I haven't managed to achieve a satisfactory result.
The idea is to see the programmes on for all channels within the next few hours.
It may need to be restricted to only channels defined in a favourites list, to limit the size of result and applied only to webif.
Thoughts/suggestions on this?

Hopefully an improved EPG won't take too much longer. I've found the components I need and have it on my list of things to look at this week.
csudcy did produce a very nice looking EPG as part of his FoxxyWeb package but it was a bit slow and put a lot of load on the browser to render. That one could probably be integrated fairly quickly though - the source code is on Sourceforge.
OP
It could - I actually like to see events from the past occasionally - perhaps it needs to be a preference?

That's probably the best solution.
I agree. One of the (many) things I like about the Humax EPG via the remote, is that it DOES allow you to go back and view programmes before the current time. So many other AV devices basically say - oh no you can't do that!!
Perhaps it could be an option in 'settings', say a tick box + 'don't show previous programmes' (?).
In the same vein, I thought perhaps another option saying 'show programmes starting within the 4 hours'/8 hours/12 hours etc... could be implemented.
An easier option would be to allow the start date and time of a programme to be in character form and fully searchable - if it isn't already? - but I've not been able to search on this satisfactorily. Thus one could search on the current day name to get the remaining programmes in the day for every channel, or tomorrow's day name........just an idea...?!
Is there anywhere a place where descriptions of what the new upgrades do/fix in the various packages. Would it be too onerous to provide them ? I find that I am updating and if I don't know that a function is available I may not use it. I think it would also help with bug collection since people would be able to test whether the new features work.
