I just compiled latest SVN and can see some EIT related changes in the
setup GUI (finally it doesn't force me to enter XMLTV nor DataDirect if
I select the EIT). It even seems to do something since I just started
the backend and it is tuning in the background to various channels, see
below:

However, I haven't seen anything in EPG yet. Maybe if I give it enough
time?

To your question "which version" I must tell that I've seen some EIT
related settings even in 0.18.1, IIRC but I don't think it worked. Then
in -r 7738 there were some improvements and in this SVN head now it
seems to be finally implemented logically and maybe that it even
works :-)
