right, that's what i found as well: the sd data gets overwritten with eit and 
vice versa.  if i really want just eit data only, after using sd to get the 
channel config into the db, i then delete the channel from my sd lineup.

i've only done it for testing, since i get crappy or non existent eit data, so 
i'm not sure how that would work, long term.
