[pvrusb2] EPA Power Saving - HVR-1950 When Scanning EPG Data

Just curious as to whether we could expect (patched firmware?) which
would fix the HVR-1950's 24/7 scanning for EPG data?

>From what I understand, when tuners do scan for EPG data, they consume
much more power then when actually in standby.

(There was a recent LCD TV performing this, which in turn, spurred the
EPA to update it's docs/requisites for power saving.  The fix to this is
to only scan for EPG data for a maximum count per day, instead of every
second.)
