Hi group,

Short after beginning of the new year I get no new EPG data.
I read that there are problems with tv_grab_de and that a quick solution is to 
run tv_grab_de without the "slow" option.
So I did a short script with the following:
--------------->
tv_grab_de_tvtoday --days 1 >/tmp/xmlgrab.xml
/usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabase --update --file 1 -1 /tmp/xmlgrab.xml
<---------------
But when I run mythfilldatabase I got errors like :
--------------->
Unknown xmltv channel identifier: kabel1.de
Skipping channel.
<---------------
And that for every channel :-(
I checked my channel setup and looked into the database. There I found:
--------------->
mysql> select * from channel where xmltvid like 'kabel1.de';

1 row in set (0.00 sec)
<---------------
So I do not understand why mythfilldatabase did complain about the "unknown" 
channel identifier.

At last I had to say that I also did a complete new channel setup, and run a 
mythfilldatabase --manual and so on, and It worked for 1 day.

I am using MythTV from 
"http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-18-fixes/mythtv" Rev 8742.
And XMLTV 0.5.42

Any help is welcome to give me my beloved MythTV back.

Thanks
Juergen
