Comment(by danielk):
The log wasn't actually detailed enough, but it's a fairly simple
diagnosis MythTV does not insert "DTV Program" unless instructed to. Your
TV and set-top box have probably licensed GemStar data which is also
available as an encrypted stream. Look for "GemStar", "TV Guide" or
similar in the TV/STB literature.
If this is in the US, you can complain to your broadcaster and the FCC.
The broadcaster is required by law to send TV listing data in the clear in
addition to any encrypted information they may optionally transmit. Many
broadcasters do not follow these laws, but the FCC may at any time choose
to start the process of pulling their broadcasting license if they have
reports on file. Neither the FCC nor the Attorney General not monitors
broadcasters' compliance with the law themselves, they depend on private
citizens like you to report non-compliance with the law.
