 In fact reusing the time hotkeys should be quite trivial to do, I never

 You just need to modify DisplayPosition() in hotkeys.c to call your function
when the item (input_GetItem()) has epg informations.

 Yeah, displaying the EPG infos when they become availables is harder (instead 
of the default video title we have, as you wanted if I remember).
