Yes, this is true, but then you run into the situation where EIT data
is only published X hours in advance, but your next recording on
channel Y is X+1 hours from now, so you'll never get the EIT data for
that show and it will never record. Passive scan is great, as long as
there's a way to manually force a full scan periodically to fill in
these gaps.
