Thanks for doing this; i've installed this on one client, after a few minutes of tests it does seem to do the job quite well.
There's just one problem - during the epg download the client becomes very unresponsive, key presses appear after ~1s and sometimes frames are dropped (it's softdevice-based client). Happens in both epg sync modes. The following change makes most, if not all, of the delays go away.
