Have you tried Passive EIT scanning?  I've never had a problem with
that in the UK.  As far as I know, passive scaning is suitable
provided all your capture cards are providing the same channels (which
I'm guessing is possibly the case if you're using Freeview in the
UK.).  Passive scanning is configured in the backend setup somewhere.

Not sure how long you have to wait for? - EIT data does take a while to appear.
