Thanks for the feedback, guys. Based on it, I tried again, and failed 
again. But then I ran the underlying "problem" command from the command 
line and succeeded. (At least apparently; mythfilldatabase is running now, 
seemingly with just the routine problems it always has due to some 
peculiarities of my channel data.)

The command I ran was:

/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/bin/tv_grab_na 
--config-file  /home/mythtv/.mythtv/Comcast.xmltv --configure

While running, the process asked some questions that I had to respond to, 
namely these 4 lines:

         add channel 35 FOODP ? [yes,no,all,none (default=yes)]
         add channel 49 AMCP ? [yes,no,all,none (default=yes)]
         remove no-longer available channel 35 FOOD ? [yes,no,all,none 
(default=yes)]
         remove no-longer available channel 49 AMC ? [yes,no,all,none 
(default=yes)]

I wonder if the setup wrapper for the command has a problem dealing with 
the need to respond to questions. If so, I'm not sure if it would be a 
MythTV bug or an XMLTV bug, but I though it worth mentioning in either 
case, just in case others also run into it.
