Re: [vdr] there is almost no EIT scan on systems with just a single budget card and software decoding solution

So a system like mine will only do an EIT scan while I'm watching a recording. Furthermore, it won't stop transfer mode to start an EIT scan on it's own after Setup.EPGScanTimeout hours.

It's even worse with a motorised dish, since it starts moving randomly (that's why I set epg timeout to 0)

I currently have no idea how to solve this issue.

maybe there should be a way to start a scan manually (otherwise vdr cannot tell if you're watching tv or not), but limited to the current source. Also, I don't know if it's useful for the epg or not (probably not) but the channelscan/actuator plugins can be used to scan for new/modified channels.
