Does the card provide all the DVB Tables to Myth ?   I'm not a programmer, don't have a DVB Card, but I do understand DVB Tables.

There should be a "running status" flag in either the SDT or EIT tables.  This should be de-active when BBC3 is off the air indicating to the decoder that it should not try to tune the service.  Myth could use this to display a message such as "not available at this time" ??

Hope this helps.
