I don't think Live TV has anything at all to do with the functioning of EIT 
collection. You're right, there were problems before Christmas with the uk_rt 
sources, but that was soon dealt with.

The issue I have with EIT is that it doesn't look very far ahead, so it gives 
you little time to discover new programs/series/films you might want to record. 
Plus, as I say, on occasion (and on certain channels, it has to be said), it can 
be just plain wrong.
