Unfortunately I don't have a solution or explanation, but I have the
same problem.  It's not only you.  This might be an uncommon problem,
but it really exists.

I'm using one USB DVB ATSC tuner.

In my case 4 chanels never get EIT data, all others (total of 42) get
it some times, some more rarely than others.

In my case, I get EIT data for all channels with kaffeine,
instantaneously, so I can confirm it's probably a MythTV issue.

Someone mentioned in another thread to use "active EIT scan" and 
"EIT scan only" (no other source of programming) as 2 sources will
corrupt the database entries.  I'm sure I did the latter and I'm
pretty sure the former is set as I have data on shopping channels
that I never watch/tune, but that also goes out regularly.  I don't
remember a check-mark-type setting (and I really looked) for
"active EIT scan", I only remember a setting for a period of time
after which EIT data would be collected after recordings finish,
60 I think.  I didn't touch it.

I've never used it, but I've just installed it.  Not sure if I'll get
anywhere with it.

I wonder if something was done regarding EIT in the latest revisions.
I'm running 0.26.1+fixes20, which is the latest available as a deb
package from deb-multimedia.
