The EPG scan only tunes to each transponder for some 20 seconds and
collects whatever data it finds. It does not switch to any particular
_channel_ (i.e. it does not set the primary device to display a certain
programme). So even if it tunes to, say, a transponder that broadcasts
HDTV programmes, a full featured DVB card shouldn't suffer from that,
because it never "sees" the actual HDTV data stream.
