That sounds like EIT collection.  Disable EIT/on-air guide on your video 
source if you really don't want it.  If you just disable it on capture 
cards, it doesn't actually disable the EIT collection thread--just 
disables using particular cards for it--so it's possible that it's still 
enabled somewhere.  Disabling it on cards is only meant to be used for 
cards where using it causes problems (i.e. the 2nd tuner of a Nova T 500).

For those who don't want any EIT collection, it should be disabled on 
the video sources.

For those who want EIT, but only on certain channels, it should be 
disabled on individual channels within the video source.
