I have commented on my unwillingness to do this right now, because full EPG isn't finished yet. The concept of using now/next to alter the program times is fine, but I am not to that stage yet.. I do not want to use the now/next data with what code is in .17 because it can't really be used for scheduling and I don't want to give people a false sense of security when they hit the i key in frontend and see guide data.. > (Note that I see no reason why a patch like this one couldn't go in > already.

The data in 0x4E and 0x4F is duplicated in the 0x50 tables, so there is no point in using 0x4E / 0x4F until later on IF its used to alter the other guide out there.. > 4) I think I also need to change things so that siscan is called > regularly.

Currently it hangs off of tv_rec and always re-captures data when you tune to a multiplex.. I have not gotten guide inserting correct for everyone, and until that is achieved I see no point in schedulign collection. EIT collection should also be driven based on how much data is present not a fixed number..
