My manual says: EPG scan timeout = 5 The time (in hours) of user inactivity after which the DVB card in a single card system starts scanning channels to keep the EPG up-to-date. A value of '0' completely turns off scanning on both single and multiple card systems. Does this mean, that a vdr, which starts every day and runs for shorter than one hour, will never get EPG data ? My vdr often runs for only 20 min. a day when it records the "Tagesschau". I never noticed missing EPG data. When I manually start an EPG scan, the picture goes black. What happens when I switch back to the channel I was watching befor? Is this breaking off the EPG scan?
