[mythtv-users] EIT shows a single programme as 'Unknown'. TV knows better.

The Myth guide now shows the expected data for yesterday's showing but today's is still 'Unknown' and Myth ignores it.  I suppose the EIT cache isn't being refreshed.  A quick google didn't bring up anything recent.

Mine's DVB-T/T2 and still showing 'Unknown'.  I supposed, yesterday, 
that we were going to get a new legal/political/financial scandal 
instead, but it seems not.  And the TV guide is available immediately 
after full power-up, so it's obviously in a non-volatile cache too, but 
on a different timescale.

Perhaps the question is 'does an existing 'Unknown' marking inhibit EIT 
refresh in MythTV?'
