OK, I found one solution, and the solution I used is this:

Go to the mythtv/setup directory and rerun the setup program.   When queried 
about whether or not to reconfigure channels, answer "yes".   This will 
(re)create the channel listings in ~/.mythtv/*.xmltv.  After all of that, run 
mythfilldatabase.  Now, all is well.  :-)

BTW, I'm running mythtv on my SMP machine - 2x450MHz Pentium system with a 
Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 and it just *barely* has enough horsepower to run 
mythtv.  I trust it will be much better when I can also use the MPEG decoder 
in hardware on this card (not to mention the FM radio!).

Nice work, mythtv and ivtv developers!

Later,

Andy
