Screens
* copy title ==> XBMC.EPG_TAG.strTitle
* copy event ==> XBMC.EPG_TAG.strPlotOutline
* copy description ==> XBMC.EPG_TAG.strPlot
* If XBMC.EPG_TAG.strPlotOutline is empty, duplicate XBMC.EPG_TAG.strPlot ==> XBMC.EPG_TAG.strPlotOutline
So your main problem is your EPG sends the description in the event tag, which is copied into EPG_TAG.strPlotOutline which afaik is not displayed in the default XBMC PVR skin. You can try to edit addons/skin.confluence/720p/DialogPVRGuideInfo.xml + addons/skin.confluence/720p/ViewsPVR.xml and replace $INFO[ListItem.Plot] with $INFO[ListItem.PlotOutline]. I can't remember the exact positions you have to replace, just try to play with the skin or use another one.
Also I'm not able to simply concatenate the two fields as the recording UI *is* showing strPlotOutline + strPlot in separate fields. So the information would be duplicated.
Edit: I might add an advanced setting, which prepends the strPlotOutline for the EPG only though.
