Not quite sure what is involved here for you guys but my BEC receiver has a VCR timer function in the menus. While I have not played with it I believe what it will do is switch the receiver on and tune to the correct channel at the prescribed time. If I am correct it would not require an EPG and cure at least a portion of your issue.

If I get a chance this weekend I will play with that receiver a bit with that exact function. I do have it connected to my big dish for tuning purposes and just haven't got around to disconnecting it. The receiver was inexpensive to purchase. Under $150.00 but is DiSeqC 1.2 not USALS compliant.
