EIT events on program change

Hi,
i have traced an issue down to something in EIT when watching live tv.
The scenario is while watching live tv, when one program finished & another
starts frontend freezes on the last frame before a program change - the
frontend process doesn't hang - i can press esc & then click to watch live
tv again straight away & all is ok.

The tuner i'm having trouble with is a hauppauge nova-t-500, using v4l
drivers built from source.

Is there something mythtv does when a program changes that concerns EIT ? Or
can anyone point me in remotely the right direction - i haven't coded C for
a decade or so but i might be able to trace what happens if i know where to
look...

thanks
David

PS, EIT does actually work when enabled, as i can fill program schedule data
purely from EIT, so i gather it works in some capacity, albeit with some
issues like the mentioned one.

David,

I don't think it's an EIT issue. I'm experiencing the same symptoms at the
moment. Current SVN, DVB-S reception, EIT scanning disabled on all channels
(I use radiotimes). On a programme change on the same channel on live tv
the picture freezes, and a quick esc and watch live tv brings it straight
back up. The backend continues to record live tv during the picture
freeze. I haven't had the time to try to chase down the bug, but sounds
very similar to yours. Since I'm not using EIT - it's definitely not that
for me.
