I use EIT but with active EIT scanning turned off for all my cards. 
Active scanning visits each multiplex to extract EIT data and that's 
necessary in other countries where each multiplex only carries EIT data 
for channels on that multiplex.  In the UK, though, each multiplex 
carries a full set of EIT data for all channels.  This applies to both 
Freeview and Freesat.  So passive scanning, i.e. picking up EIT data 
while recording or watching/listening to live TV/Radio, gives a full set 
of data for all channels including radio without affecting shutting down 
on idle.
