Hi Scott,
The EPG from Gracenote also comes through the TVs guide separately to using Freeview Plus EPG. The detailed multichannwl guide loads automatically when the guide button on the remote is selected and the TV is connected to the internet. If the TV isn’t connected to the internet and the guide button ia pushed, the EPG loads slowly from the channel’s digital data stream.
This is different to accessing Freview Plus which can be accessed by pushinf the green button on the remote.
I expect that the same data is used for both Freeview Plus and the guide, just presented in different formats.
The epg using the guide button is easy to read and scan what is on…will come in. The Freeview Plus epg is not so user friendly in its presentation.
This is what the epg guide looks like (selecting the guide button):
