Problem could be in mythconverg. The chanid in the channel table do not match 
the chanid in the program table. Editing the xmltvid url in mythtv-setup 
won't always work either. From past experience I have found editing 
mythconverg using webmin a quick and easy way to fix this problem. Usually 
the trouble starts off when channel xmltvid url is changed and then a new 
chanid number is issued and ADDED to mythconverg program table. The channel 
xmltvid url must match those outputed by tv_grab_au. 
To fix the issue delete all channels and start again or edit mythconverg using 
webmin. The columns that are best changed are the chanid in the channel table 
and must match those chanid in the program table.
