No, the EIT should always be on the pid 0x12. But while EIT pf (present
following) is mandatory EIT schedule isn't. And as far as I know most
broadcasters don't send the schedule information. But you should at least get
the EIT pf information.

You can test whether you get the eit with the test_sections program which
comes with the dvb drivers (apps/test).

./test_sections 0x12 0x4E (EIT pf actual TS)
./test_sections 0x12 0x4F (EIT pf other TS)
./test_sections 0x12 [0x50...0x5F]  (EIT schedule actual TS)
./test_sections 0x12 [0x60...0x6F]  (EIT schedule other TS)

[0x50..0x5F] means you specify on table id out of the given range.
