Hello,

The latest upgrade of mythtv nicely fixed my choppy audio/video problem 
- thanks.

My next problem is that I can not change channels. I live in Adelaide, 
Australia.
I got a copy of tv_grab_au, and when I run mythfilldatabase, this is the 
output
I get:
----------------- Start of XMLTV output -----------------

Error inserting person
Adjusting program database end times...
0 replacements made.

This last '0 replacements made' does not look too good. How can I verify 
that the programming info in
the database is correct? Is it possible to change channels without 
programming info (eBroadcast does
not seem to be happy to provide the program guide)? If eBroadcast 
manages to make their site useless
for mythtv,  would it be hard to restructure tv_grab_au to get the guide 
from eg. WestNet?

Thanks for any help.

Laszlo
