[mythtv-users] No passive EIT on Live TV, only on recordings

[Martin van Es]

Hi,

I have never been able to reap DVB-C EIT info while watching live-tv,
only when a pre-scheduled recording starts. I don't want to use active
scan since it hammers my system 24/7 while EIT can be reaped within 1
minute of recording. The problem is that sometimes I don't have any
recordings scheduled for 1 or 2 days, and Ziggo (dutch cable company)
only supplies 4 days in advance. So I start to run out of EPG quite
fast.

I have some logging to 'prove' the problem (as far as I can tell, it's
a bug but I'd like to hear otherwise or the magic button to fix
this!). My setup consists of 2 DVB-C tuners (1,3). Mythtv version:
0.24-fixes (git). Could anyone at least confirm that this is working
or failing on Ziggo DVB-C for them as well?

About the log: I started watching live TV at 17:52:58 and had a (test)
recording scheduled at 18:35. Only at this point fresh EIT information
started flowing into my database.
