I'm interested in grabbing the EPG data from DVB-T streams. Does anyone know of any C libraries or an alternative means of getting the data?

tv_grab_dvb can do this. See the subversion repository for sources.
tv_grab_dvb is made to work with the stream grabbed from the DVB-T card using dvbtools on Linux, but it may be portable to other platforms - I think it just works with the raw data from the stream.

...a new answer to an old question:
I wrote a utility called dvbtee that can be used as a c++ library, a cross-platform command line utility, or a node.js module.
(despite it being a c++ library, one could still link to it from c code)
The command line utility will parse your streams and output the EPG, depending on the arguments you specify, it can generate plain text or a JSON block of data.
The node.js module will emit events containing the PSIP table data (along with EPG info)

Please don't add the [same answer to multiple questions](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/104227/is-it-acceptable-to-ad??d-a-duplicate-answer-to-several-questions). Answer the best one and flag the rest as duplicates, once you earn enough reputation. If it is not a duplicate, tailor the post to the question. – Manfred Radlwimmer Mar 01 '17 at 11:37

actually, i'm not sure that deleting my answer is the best idea in this case. The other question asks for something more general, while this question specifically asks for a C library. My answer satisfies both questions, which are not duplicates of each other. – mkrufky Mar 01 '17 at 11:39
