Hm, I'm not sure this was really necessary, it seems I just have to stop the
backend and run mythtv-setup and go to Video Source Setup and click Retrieve
Lineups.

As it happens I found the problem.

Mythtv tries to run the following command:

  wget --http-user=gsstark --http-passwd=password --post-file=/tmp/mythpostqTTw0I --header=Accept-Encoding:gzip http://datadirect.webservices.zap2it.com/tvlistings/xtvdService --output-document=-

Except that that's invalid. All option arguments must precede all non-option
arguments. In other words, --output-document=- must precede the URL.

This command results in:

Resolving --output-document=-... failed: Name or service not known.
