My script (attached - hope the list lets it through) is the result of 
trial and error many months ago.  It tries opening the card and 
grabbing the xml file.  If the resultant xml file is less than 100 
lines it's likely that the card was already in use by Myth so it just 
keeps trying again.  Not the smartest.  Shell scripting and linux 
aren't my forte but it's been working for me for the last 6 or so 
months. 8)

I've been using the 12456 transponder, I don't know what will happen 
later this week though.  I tried the 12483 transponder with my script 
a few moments ago, and only got the current and next programs for 6 
or so channels, so pretty much the same results as you.

I think I'll sit tight for a couple of days, keep using 12456 and see 
what happens...
