mythbackend -v channel,eit,siparser

Also in mythtv-setup under General on the fourth pane, "EIT Scanner
Options" you can configure when the scan starts and how long it
spends on each transport. Finally if you have the Listings grabber
in your video source set to anything other than "Transmitted guide
only (EIT)" there is a checkbox that must be checked, "Perform EIT
Scan", this is disabled by default as having multiple listings
grabbers per source can mess up scheduling. If you get EIT for some
channels and info from elsewhere for other channels you can use
the useronairguide on a per channel basis to select who populates
that particular channel.
