[mythtv-users] eit / epg grabber for dvb-t

[Steve Smith]

David,

Somewhere (on the wiki I think) I read that EIT only works if you've created
you channels by doing a scan within myth-setup NOT from a channels.conffile.
Certainly that was the case for me!
This of course is a problem because channel scanning crashes randomly....

(In the end I've gone over to using xmltv as I've also got a cable TV
source.)

Cheers

Steve
