There are no records in the settings table, this is probably caused by
the fact that the tv_grab_na script finishes in a CTRL+C (it's unable to
connect to the remote site to download any data... which could be caused
by my location). However the videosource table correctly has
xmltvgrabber field set to tv_grab_uk, although it is still running
tv_grab_na.

A side point.. The version of MC/databases/mc.sql does not add the
"xmltvgrabber" into the videosource table. I'm not sure if this was
intentional- or if the 0-7 to 0-8 sql script should be run even for
fresh CVS installs.

I'll play with mythfilldatabase manually to try and get some listings
downloaded - see if I can do some testing..


The following appears in the console... 
 
        StringSelectSetting::setValue(): invalid index 3
        Welcome to XMLTV tv_grab_na V2.20021119 for Canada and US tv
        listings

        starting manual configuration process..


While a look at running processes shows that the command executed is:
/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/bin/tv_grab_na --config-file...

If this is the case, then I'll wait for changes to hit CVS and then test
from a UK point of view.

I may be wrong, but I drew that from conclusion from
MC/libs/libmythtv/videosource.cpp (line 81)

It looks as though the grab_tv_XX command is called from
XMLTV_na_config::save and tv_grab_na is hardcoded. 

As far as modifications go, should there be equivalent functions for the
other regions, or should the single function draw the data out of the
database.
