Nope. Loads of folk in the UK have DVRs made by for example Humax.
They take the EPG through the aerial or dish along with the programs.

Did they do that 18 years ago?

Since 1998, so 19 years ago. Before that there wasn't an EPG from

"Where's the TV Guide" was a really common question when I was growing up.
