EIT seems to work now and I know it gives me informations for 2 weeks 
for german tv. That's really enough.

A tuner has to be active to collect this data - IIRC (not having used EIT for a long time) there's an option you can set for a tuner for it to be used for "active" EIT collection. I fyou use active collection, when a tuner is free, Myth will use it to tune into a mux and grab the EIT data from it.
