Ok, that makes a lot more sense - thank you very much!
However, I have 'useonairguide' checked for all of my channels (this must be a default setting, as I haven't set it myself). I haven't scanned the actual radio channels in, but there are a number of TV channels, for which I haven't set an XMLTV ID for which show up as 'NO DATA' in my EPG. Furthermore, I haven't seen my HDHR3 doing anything when MythTV is not in use, indicating that MythTV is not performing an EIT crawl(?) in the background (which I believe it would be doing permanently?).
e.g. The channel called 'Yesterday' looks like this in my DB (some columns omitted):
+----------+--------------+--------+-------------+---------------+-----------+---------------------+
| chanid | channum | freqid | sourceid | callsign | xmltvid | useonairguide |
+----------+--------------+--------+-------------+---------------+-----------+---------------------+
| 1012 | 12 | 55 | 1 | Yesterday | | 1 |
+----------+--------------+--------+-------------+---------------+-----------+---------------------+
Also, EIT appears to be enabled for my HDHR3's inputs:
+---------+------------------+----------------------+---------------------+------------------+
| cardid | videodevice | cardtype | defaultinput | dvb_eitscan |
+---------+------------------+----------------------+---------------------+------------------+
| 1 | 11103517-0 | HDHOMERUN | MPEG2TS | 1 |
| 2 | 11103517-0 | HDHOMERUN | MPEG2TS | 1 |
| 3 | 11103517-1 | HDHOMERUN | MPEG2TS | 1 |
| 4 | 11103517-1 | HDHOMERUN | MPEG2TS | 1 |
+---------+------------------+----------------------+---------------------+------------------+
Any ideas why this may be?
Thanks,
Joe
