Hmm, I'm not sure I understand your problem. Generally EPG data for all
programs on a channel are only received if the card is tuned to this
frequency. So if you don't tune you card e.g. for more than one week to
SAT1, Pro7, Kabel1 or N24 you don't have any EPG data for one of these
programs. The only exception from that scheme are the programs on the
ZDF frequency - they transmit EPG data only for one day.
That's what the EPG scan is for. After EPGScanTimeout hours (I think 5
is the default) VDR switches to any channel to get the latest EPG data.
But this only happens if the card is not in TransferMode, which it
normally is after a recording - until you switch to another channel.

Cheers,
Juri
