But yes, your system will be somewhat busy when collecting EIT.</div><div><br></div><div>When you do not configure a capture card for active EIT then EIT will be collected by the first capture card when it is recording.</div><div>It will then capture whatever is present on the transport stream multiplex of the selected channel but it could be that this is just for a few channels, not for all channels that you can receive.</div><div><br></div><div>For the details about having to use the first capture card of a HDHomeRun for EIT, see also <a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_Scanning#EIT_program_guide_information">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_Scanning#EIT_program_guide_information</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,</div><div>Klaas.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div></div></div>
