[mythtv-users] "ERROR - No PIDS set" even though channels are present

When I try to run mythtv and use Live TV, I get the following in the mythbackend:

My mythtv-setup says there's channels, and I can see them in the mysql "channel" table. There's nothing in the dvb_pids, dtv_multiplex or dvb_channel tables.

Running mythfilldatabase *appears* to work, though I get a lot of "ERROR: can't find DataSet for Nine Guide - 2005-09-18" (for various dates and channel names) in-between the printing of some hash "#" signs. This is using:

        tv_grab_au - (version 0.6.2 - release 2005-05-31)

in region '11: Victoria - Melbourne', '5: Free to Air Digital'. Running tv_grab_au manually there's definitely programme information being gathered.

So why am I not getting "PID" information even though I've got channel information?
