Can anyone with a Freesat system confirm there are no programmes shown in
the EPG on ITV2 HD and ITV3 HD after 06:00 on Monday 21st?
Or is it a problem at my end?

No, it's the same for me: the last programme that I see on ITV3 HD is
Mon 21 Nov 0540-0600 "Unwind with ITV". That's using TVHeadend software
on a Raspberry Pi, via a DVB-T2 tuner: using the over-the-air EPG. Corresponding programmes on ITV3 (non HD) continue beyond that until
Thursday 24 Nov at 2200.
I might reconfigure TV Headend to use the ITV3 EPG for ITV3 HD as well.
Or maybe nearer to the cut-off date, ITV3 HD might sort out their EPG.

Both channels are showing EPG info up to the 24th on my Manhattan
Freesat box.

I do wish that Manhattan would make a Freesat bos to the same level as the T3R Freeview one. Surely it's just the tuning side - or are there costs with having FS EPG?
I believe there is a license fee to pay if you want to make boxes with the Freesat name and logo on them. I guess there may also be a fee for
access/use of the algorithm needed to receive the Freesat EPG.

Is there anything special about the ability to receive the EPG for SD channels? I know that the EPG for HD channels is lightly encrypted such that VLC for example cannot reproduce "clean" EPG data (only a lot of funny characters with bits of clear text amongst them). I'm not sure whether it is HD channels in the EPG stream for *any* multiplex, or whether it is the
whole EPG (SD and HD) within a T2 ("HD") multiplex which is encrypted.
Incidentally, when I looked just now, ITV3 HD had EPG listings up to Friday 25 Nov - so the normal 7 days.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Indeed, hence loads of TV's with DVB-S2 by default now but no Freesat.

Does this matter? - you can view the full schedule for SD ITV1/2/3/4 on Freeview's EPG and then select the periods you want on satellite.
As a matter of interest, I always thought that channels that are the same
on sd and hd only used on listing and the presence of a code in the entry triggered hd or not depending on how it was sset?
