[mythtv-users] So, if I change to a new grabber script, does that wreck all my scheduling?

No - you will need to change the xmltvid for each channel as well in
the setup screens. So nine.free.sydney.d1.com.au, for example (can't
remember what it actually is), would need to be changed to
sydney.nine.com.au in mythtvsetup channel editor.
