I just ran that same mysql statement on my mythtv FE/BE.  It shows all 
of my channels with the value of "1" (useonairguide="1").  I seem to 
remember that this use to be the default value (0.21) (maybe it still 
is), since I have never changed it.  I am using Schedules Direct for 
listings and do NOT have any guide program description truncation 
problems.  I thought their was some global use EIT data option somewhere 
that I have disabled.  So I think, at least for me, the useonairguide 
setting is ignored.
