No, it occurs after a configurable (mythtv-setup) amount of idle time of 
your dvb card.

You have to enable EIT for that signal source and for each channel.

Also, the networkid and transportid for that multiplex (transponder) 
must be set in the table dtv_multiplex. If Myth has scanned the channels 
for you, then this should be OK. If you have imported channels.conf, 
then you have to do this manually.

Start mythbackend with -v eit for debugging.
