If you created a new videosource for the Nova-T 500 DVB inputs to
share, and then scanned for DVB channels, check the following in
mythtv-setup:

i) the new videosource is not enabled for EIT scanning
ii) each channel that was found during the channel scan (and that you
want EIT listings data for) has 'Use On-air Guide' disabled and has
the correct XMLTVID assigned to it (this is frequently the reason for
missing data)
iii) the XMLTV config file (found in
~/.mythtv/<videosourcename>.xmltv) contains the list of configured
channels you want data for
iv) you do not have any orphan/duplicate channels on your videosources
- this is possible if your videosource contains channel entries from a
channel scan, and additional entries from configuring the XMLTV
grabber.

There is currently no easy way to delete all listings data for a
videosource without having to recreate it from scratch in mythtv-setup
(although I have a patch in development), so some old EIT data may
still be lurking.

You can also run mythbackend with verbose XMLTV and EIT logging to see
if data is being applied from XMLTV and not EIT (which should be
disabled for the relevant videosource).
