Ah, that is an excellent idea. A little hacking to get it to use the
HDHR tools instead of dvbtune should be trivial, but unfortunately the
'dvbsnoop' binary used by epgsnoop does not support ATSC ("currently
no plans --> I cannot test these streams").

I'm looking at eitscanner.cpp in Myth's source code, and I see there's
already a "activeScanNextTrig = QDateTime::currentDateTime();" so
turning the EIT "marathon" into more of an actual "crawl" might be as
simple as adding a "+ 3600" to that line?
