SVN mythtv changed the way it calls tv_grab_XX scripts about 2 months ago (see
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/12499).
tv_grab_au scripts dated prior to that likely won't work.

there is a tv_grab_au script that does work just fine.  see
http://svn.whuffy.com/

you'll find that the data is somewhat 'better' than perhaps what you had in the
past.


cheers,
