I would seriously recommend taking a look at the EPGCollector utility that sub mentioned, it's available on Sourceforge. The utility accesses the EPG data broadcast in MHEG-5 format on New Zealand Freeview|HD, and extracts the data into an XML file.
I, and most other people who use EPGCollector, run the EPGCollector from an NPVR UpdateEPG.bat batch file. In NPVR configuration, the EPG Source for each channel should be set to XMLTV and "XMLTV File" should be set to "point at" the XML file output by EPGCollector.
The NPVR Wiki has information on NPVR batch files and configuration of the NPVR EPG source.
EPGCollector has some reasonable installation and usage documentation in a readme file which is included with the download from Sourceforge, and there is also a support forum for the utility.
