+- All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the

+- If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are
+  now used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the
+  EPG info up-to-date. Scanning kicks in after 60 seconds of user inactivity
+  (timeout in order to keep user interactions instantaneously) and each channel
+  that has the 'pnr' parameter defined in 'channels.conf' is switched to for
+  20 seconds. If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start
+  scanning after 5 hours (configurable through the "Setup" menu) of user inactivity
+  and will switch back to the channel it originally displayed at the first sign of
+  user activity. Any scanning will only occur if that particular card is not
+  currently recording or replaying.
