It's possible to disable the EIT in the backend setup (though I think
it's enabled by default).

Sometimes it can be several minutes for the data to appear.

I'm pretty sure you don't need to run mythfilldatabase when you use
EIT data - at least not for the EIT data to appear, it may need to be
run as a housekeeping task to clear out old guide data (although that
requirement is being/has been removed - not quite sure of the status)
