[mythtv-users] Is anybody else getting 500 errors from DataDirect?

I thought I had some database corruption going on (the frontend was hanging 
when I asked it to delete some shows), so I figured I'd try rebuilding some of 
the data.

I went into mythtv-setup and told it to wipe out the channel lineups.  When I 
went to retrieve them, though, I ended up getting nowhere:

2005-11-18 21:36:22.707 Fetching lineups from DataDirect service...

The 401 error is a normal byproduct of the authentication method DataDirect 
uses, but the 500 error is abnormal.  Is anyone else running into this problem? 
  Without the ability to download channel lineups, my MythTV box is dead in the 
water (yeah, I should've backed up the database, but I didn't figure I'd run 
into this problem).
