Well, it did show.

Though, I meant to ask: What causes the EIT code to request EPG for a channel? It's not the fact that no data is present in program for it's chanid since I've tried emptying the program table at run time and retune to a channel where the EIT is present and noting shows up automagicaly. I'm asking because some obscure channels will sometime get the data, sometimes not.

Did you get time to do what you intended since? 0.18 is coming out pretty fast! :) As for crawling, it would be a good idea but I guess we'd need to specify which multiplex contains the EIT. Concerning that; I could not find where the starting channel is stored. You know, when the backend starts, it tunes to a "default channel" in order to check it's hardware or else... Since I've started playing around with the EIT, my default channel was not on the multiplex containing the EIT. I recently changed that using mythtv-setup and now when I start the backend, the EIT will be requested without a manual recording. Pretty neat, even tho I don't fully understand how it actually happens. :) Thanks! cyth _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
