Automagically or only when you tune to a channel of that transponder?
So if I don't watch TV I won't have the EPG filled?
Maybe it would be handy to have MythTV scan for EIT during the nighttime
when not recording?
(or can it do that already?)
The EPG stuff for sat TV is kinda new to me so I am investigating how
things work in the MythTV context. If there would be sources for xmltv
data for `european` sats, that would be interesting too.
