 This plugin parses the extended (2 to 10 day) EPG data which is send by 
 providers on their portal channels. This EEPG data is transmitted in a

 Currently the following EEPG formats are supported:
--Mediahighway 1 (CanaalDigitaalNL, CSat, Cyfra+)
--Mediahighway 2 (Digital+)
--Sky Italy
--Sky UK
--Freesat
--Premiere
--NagraGuide (CanaalDigitaalNL, only in test)
