 search, the problem is that it doesn't seem to find any.

 Hi, i had the same Problem and did a little research by myself. My
 Provider (kabelsignal.at, NID 222) changed Channels at the end of January
 and no EPG was received by MythTv from Feb. 1. on until now (TV-Set showed
 EPG). The reason is, that in the SDT the flags EIT* are missing, a Test
 with dvbsnoop showed this. I downloaded the source, did changes in 3 files
 (assuming EPG* flags are always true) and compiled - EPG is here again.

 I think the best fix for this Problem would be, that if "useonairguide" is
 set on a channel, MythTv should try to pull EIT regardless of what the SDT
 says.
