So I've just checked my system and I've been using EIT program data.
I dont have a schedules direct listing service and never have done.
I've restarted the backend, told it to fill the database.

I see some EIT data for some channels, CBC and Omni1 has Unknown.
Omni 1 has EIT epg data sometimes.  CBC-French & OMNI2 have epg data.

I noticed, by scrolling backward the last time I had epg data on CBC
was up until 10pm 27 April.

I'm guessing since I've not changed anything in my system that CBC has
decided to not bother sending program information EIT... I now have
one massive "unknown".

But I'm open to other suggestions and I suppose eventually I will
subscribe to a better XMLTV source.

Mike.
