I know, and understand that I can use labs.zap2it.com to setup an 
account and get EPG data, but I would like use the EIT data. Any other 
suggestions for getting EIT on ATSC working? The fact that myth doesn't 
attempt to try a different multiplex seems like a bug.

Any other help/suggestions or debugging tips would be greatly 
appreciated. Or even an acknowledgment that someone else has EIT data 
working or not over ATSC would be helpful.

Thanks in Advance,
Ben
