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

[Hendo Nominees]

Firstly thanks to all the ppl out there who help on the list, cos
this is a great product.


Now i have searched the archive and googled for tv_grab_au an found
varsious similar issues but the resolves in them have not helped in
this case.

The problem i am having is while following Jarods guide (btw thanks
Jarod for that its great to have something like that to follow ) i
get upto using the mythtvsetup and i run into the TV_GRAB_AU problem. 

there is no tv_grab_au in the default .16 install. off to the list,
find the link to teh tv_grab_au at onlinetractorparts and then
install the compnents in the various places.
great.
run setup and when it tries to find the channels nothing. (it does
not 'hang ' it actualy says sorry carnt find.) so i know to alt tab
into the terminal window and set up the channels etc but i get the
following errror.
