Daniel,

A secondary question if I may, having recently migrated to using the
native EIT listings data in place of running tv_grab_dvb and MFDB
externally.

When using tv_grab_dvb, I configured it to pull listings data for the
UK DVB radio channels that the XMLTV uk_rt grabber does not provide. I
could then use this data to provide listings data on the sources (in
my case, DVB *and* digital cable) that carry radio channels.

I am currently receiving EIT listings on my EIT enabled DVB video
source, but I want to know if it possible to also apply this data
against the channels on any non-DVB sources I have? Is it the case of
enabling useeit for the cable video source and useonairguide for those
radio channels? I am worried that the EIT data can only be applied
against a video source that is attached to an EIT-capable card.

Also, are there any plans to limit the number of cards that are tied
up when the EIT scanner is in operation, or when the scanner runs? I
have 3 DVB cards (set for on-demand) which seem to be permanently tied
up with the scanner.

Thanks again,
Nick
