Comment (by mellamanjefe@…):

 For those of us using EIT this is a tough choice between power savings and
 keeping our schedules up to date. I look forward to the implementation on
 0.24, I am currently running mythbuntu 0.23-fixes. I am not familiar with
 the code but reading some of the previous suggestions and thinking about
 the problem I would be willing to work with a user setting that prevents
 the idle timeout from resetting even when new EIT modifications are
 received so that the computer will still shut down even if it recently
 received an EIT update. If I turn the computer off manually I'm going to
 miss all the updates anyway until I turn it back on. I would also help
 then to ask the user if a previously scheduled recording that is now
 deactivated because it cannot be matched to a guide entry (since the EIT
 might not be up to date when the computer starts after an extended
 shutdown) should remain active and record whatever timeslot it was
 scheduled to record. There will be little chance the user would end up
 recording something other than what was scheduled anyhow.

 In any case, thanks for the great work!
