I noticed that you have foreign language characters.  There was a bug 
fix comitted to the CVS version that affected foreign language systems 
that had to do with the system looking at "All Programs" different from 
"Alle Programmes" or something like that.  Check the mythtv-commit or 
mythtv-dev mailing list archives or just update to CVS to see if it is 
fixed.
