[mythtv-users] Can't watch tv...can't fill database :-(

[Andy Stewart]

HI everybody,

My mythtv setup has worked fine for a long time, and now suddenly does not.

The first symptom was that attempts to watch live TV gave me a blank (black) 
screen and that's all.  I had to ctrl-alt-backspace to kill the X server to 
recover.  However, I was able to watch pre-recorded shows successfully.

I thought perhaps that the database was somehow out of whack, so I attempted 
to update it.  XMLTV complained that my version was old, so I upgraded to 
0.5.19.  Now, with tv_grab_na in use, I get this error:

Unknown xmltv channel identifier...skipping channel (for all channels).

tv_grab_na --configure works fine.

I suspect that I have two separate problems, but I'm not 100% sure.  Any 
thoughts?

If it matters:
	- PVR-350
	- mythtv 0.10 - yeah, I know its old, but it *works*, or rather, worked ;-)
	- xmltv 0.5.19 (upgraded from 0.5.14 which worked OK)

Thanks,

Andy
