For some time now I have been getting undue hard drive activity at half hourly intervals whether my computer is in use or just ticking over. I believe that this is due to some search or other carried out by mythtv and stops when the mythtv-backend is closed down. In the backend setup 'Item 3, Video sources' there is a heading 'Listings grabber' and when this is changed from 'Transmitted guide only (EIT)' to 'No grabber' the activity stops even though the backend is running. The backend log gives a periodic error which says that 'Programme #14336 not found in PAT!'
I have rescanned the stations several times but this has not made any difference. I do not understand what the error means and, more importantly to me, how to put things right because, presumably, I will not be kept up to date with the programme listings and consequently unable to set to record programmes. I have asked on the mythtv lists but, so far, have not had a nibble. All positive ideas would be very welcome.
