[mythtvnz] epgsnoop on Sky + freeview issues

I tend to run epgsnoop twice back to back to collect Sky + freeview 
data, but I'm seeing some odd effects where I'm seeing sky data in the 
freeview collection.

I have a wrapper script that for sky calls

dvbtune -f 2071000 -s 22500 -p h -m

and for freeview calls

dvbtune -f 1856000 -s 22500 -p h -m

Now the lock is correct, and "dvbscan -c" can confirm I'm seeing the 
correct channels, but I'm seeing selected sky data in the freeview 
collection.

I'm wondering if there is some EIT data buffer somewhere that hasn't 
been flushed out. Like I should get a lock and wait 5-10 seconds for old 
EIT data to clear or something.

Anyone else seen this?
