hi everyone,
i'm experiencing exactly the same problems as 
Daniel Paessler reported some time ago on this list (i found that post
in the archives):

i'm in germany and i have got cable, and when i run mythfilldatabase
(--manual, since i'm using tv_grab_de) it gives the following output:
mythtv@shurakai:~$ mythfilldatabase --manual
###
### Running in manual channel configuration mode.
### This will ask you questions about every channel.
###
----------------- Start of XMLTV output -----------------
downloading listings: ##################################################
------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------
Segmentation fault

my guess (because both affected users are using tv_grab_de) is,
that there could be a problem importing the xmltv file into the database
because of the german umlauts (ä,ö,ü,ß) in it or something like that.

oh, and i'm using the debian packages on a sarge/testing system.
i can watch tv, use the pause, rewind etc. functions, it's just not the
"real thing" with an empty database ;)

if it helps, i could try recompiling from source with debugging enabled
in the next days, but since i haven't done anything like that yet (i
mean debugging things, not compiling things from source ;)), any help is
appreciated.
cya,
david
