And, if you're not using XMLTV to populate the listings for that channel 
(i.e the DVB Radio channels), you should configure XMLTV so it doesn't 
give any listings for that channel to mythfilldatabase.  I.e. the other 
side of what I said before.  (Only use EIT on those channels for which 
grabber data is not available.  Do not let the grabber provide any 
information for any channels for which you plan to use EIT.)
