+* epg.data
+
+ This file contains the EPG data in an easily parsable format. The first
+ character of each line defines what kind of data this line contains.
+
+ The following tag characters are defined:
+
+ C <service id> <channel name>
+ E <event id> <start time> <duration> <table id>
+ T <title>
+ S <subtitle>
+ D <description>
+ e
+ c
+
+ Lowercase characters mark the end of a sequence that was started by the
+ corresponding uppercase character. The outer frame consists of a sequence
+ of one or more 'C'...'c' (Channel) entries. Inside these any number of
+ 'E'...'e' (Event) entries are allowed. The 'T', 'S' and 'D' entries are
+ optional (although every event should at least have a 'T' entry).
+
+ <service id> is the "program number" as defined in 'channels.conf'
+ <channel name> is the "name" as in 'channels.conf' (for information only)
+ <start time> is the time (as a time_t integer) in UTC when this event starts
+ <duration> is the time (in seconds) that this event will take
+ <table id> is a hex number that indicates the table this event is contained
+ in (if this is left empty or 0 this event will not be overwritten
+ or modified by data that comes from the DVB stream)
+ <title> is the title of the event
+ <subtitle> is the subtitle (typically the name of the episode etc.)
+ <description> is the description of the event
+
+ This file will be read at program startup in order to restore the results of
+ previous EPG scans.
