 Daniel,

This type of real time EIT data update is normal here in the UK for the
Freeview (DVB-T) & Freesat (DVB-S) services. The commercial PVR's for these
two services in my experience handle these types of 'real time' scheduling
changes very well. So I guess some of the European Myth users would better
placed to investigate a patch for this.

All the best.
