According to VDR's manual that is wrong:

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.

Cheers,
Juri
