Hi Nick,


I'm not sure this problem is directly related to channel scanning, but 
more that Myth gets confused when there are lots of inputs of different 
types.

For example, if you have unused inputs that have channels attached - 
from a previous scan, all EIT information vanishes ?, when I delete the 
unused inputs, the EIT is instantly back.

I am using the latest 0.21-fixes

Albert.
