[mythtv-users] Where To Find xmltvid Data?

I deleted my pcHDTV 3000 card through mythtv-setup and recreated it.  
Next I scanned for OTA channels and found the ones I expect.  Finally I 
ran mythfilldatabase to grab the guide data from my lineup at zap2it.  
However I have no data.

Recalling from posts on this list and my own experience a couple of 
years ago when I set this up the first time, I checked the channel table 
in the mythconverg database.  The xmltvid field is blank for my digital 
OTA channels.  OK, this is likely the problem.

It seems that the way I found this data before was to log on to zap2it 
with a web browser and mouse over the channels to retrieve the xmltvid 
info.  Then I updated the channel table to reflect this and everything 
worked.  But in trying that now, mousing over does nothing.  Is this 
still the process I need to follow to get guide data?

I've Googled but either can't come up with the right search terms or am 
blind.  Can someone please kick me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Drew
