[mythtv-users] Tv_grab_au 0.6 Fialing "undifined Subrouting"

[Mary Wright]

Hello 

 I had lots of various troubles but most of them went away when I did a 
Mythfilldatabase --manual 

Which is like doing a tv_grab_au --configure but from within myth

After that I edited the channels as needed in the mythtvsetup 

Don't know if that helps but sound like something I had originally 

Regards Mary

I just ran into this same problem. Apparently, the subroutine
askQuestion has been renames and just 'ask' will do.  After doing this
it seems to work fine.

Just thought it may be useful to others to note this.
