Ok, replying to myself, everything is fine now. The transportid for the
channels that were not recieving EIT were NULL (which were the majority
of my visible channels). So i got the id's from a dvbsnoop and EIT data 
has started to be filled in properly again.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Janne.
