not sure if they are 100% correct and also forget how i came up with the category names as it was ages ago but heres how i did it..

index_category.scrub {regex||"es?g":(\d+),||}

*
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^0$"|Other}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^1$"|Shopping}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^2$"|Kids}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^3$"|Entertainment}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^4$"|Other}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^5$"|Series}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^6$"|Movie}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^7$"|Sport}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^8$"|} *???
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^9$"|Variety}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^10$"|Gaming & Dating}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^11$"|Documentary}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^12$"|Music}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^13$"|Religious}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^14$"|International}
index_category.modify {replace(type=regex)|"^15$"|Special}

as u can see i couldnt at the time figure out what category number 8 was so i remove it.
edit:
now that i thought about it i think i found them in one of the javascript files.
again no idea which one it was as it was long ago.
pretty sure the categories are based on what you see on the site,i also think category 8 was hd channels.
thats why i removed it.

i went through every file in could fine and i couldnt find it.
if category is important you could use their accessibility site.

my guess is the eg and esg categories are hard coded in the users set top box firmware so it will show for them.

it comes at a price of loosing actor,productiondate and maybe other stuff that i didnt see that their full tvguide has.

figured it out.

based on the categories Here

categories start at line 534.

the esg is a subcategory or the eg.
so the esg sub categories change with the eg category.
thats why we couldnt make any sense of the eg/esg number conbination.

first we need to scrub the eg and esg separate.

index_category.scrub {regex||"eg":(\d+),||}
index_temp_8.scrub {regex||"esg":(\d+),||}

then a bunch of code to load a element with the correct esg categories based on the eg value.

global_temp_8.modify {set|None\|Specialist\|Children\|Entertainment\|Music & Radio\|News & Documentary\|Movie\|Sports}
if {('index_category' "1")|1}
global_temp_9.modify {set|None\|Adult\|Events\|Shopping\|Gaming}
if {('index_category' "2")|1}
global_temp_9.modify {set|None\|Cartoon\|Comedy\|Drama\|Educational\|Under 5\|Factual\|Magazine\|Game Shows\|Games}
if {('index_category' "3")|1}
global_temp_9.modify {set|None\|Action\|Comedy\|Detective\|Drama\|Game Show\|Sci-Fi\|Soap\|Animation\|Chat Show\|Cooking\|Factual\|Fashion\|Gradening\|Travel\|Technology\|Arts\|Lifestyles\|Home\|Magazine\|Medical\|Review\|Antiques\|Motors\|Art & Literature\|Ballet\|Opera}
if {('index_category' "4")|1}
global_temp_9.modify {set|None\|Classical\|Folk and Country\|National Music\|Jazz\|Opera\|Rock&Pop\|Alternative Music\|Events\|Club and Dance\|Hip Hop\|Soul/R&B\|Dance\|Ballet\|####\|Current Affairs\|Features\|Arts & Literature\|Factual\|####\|####\|Lifestyle\|News and Weather\|Easy Listening\|Discussion\|Entertainment\|Religious}
if {('index_category' "5")|1}
global_temp_9.modify {set|None\|Business\|World Culture\|Adventure\|Biography\|Educational\|Feature\|Politics\|News\|Nature\|Religion\|Science\|Showbiz\|War Documentary\|Historical\|Ancient\|Transport\|DocuDrama\|World Affairs\|Features\|Showbiz\|Politics\|Transport\|World Affairs}
if {('index_category' "6")|1}
global_temp_9.modify {set|None\|Action\|Animation\|####\|Comedy\|Family\|Drama\|####\|Sci-Fi\|Thriller\|Horror\|Romance\|Musical\|Mystery\|Western\|Factual\|Fantasy\|Erotic\|Adventure\|War}
if {('index_category' "7")|1}
global_temp_9.modify {set|None\|American Football\|Athletics\|Baseball\|Basketball\|Boxing\|Cricket\|Fishing\|Football\|Golf\|Ice Hockey\|Motor Sports\|Racing\|Rugby\|Equestrian\|Winter Sports\|Snooker/Pool\|Tennis\|Wrestling\|Darts\|Water Sports\|Other}

then get the correct eg and esg category names and combine them back into the category element.

index_temp_8.modify {substring(type=element)|'global_temp_9' 'index_temp_8' 1}
index_temp_8.modify {clear("None")}
index_category.modify {substring(type=element)|'global_temp_8' 'index_category' 1}
index_category.modify {clear("None")}
index_category.modify {addend('index_temp_8' not "")|\|'index_temp_8'}

a es or esg value of 0 means there is none.

thats correct about the eg and esg.
for actors far as i know there is none.
